Tokyo 17th district is a constituency of the House of Representatives in the Diet of Japan (national legislature). It is located in northeastern parts of the former city of Tokyo and covers the ward of Katsushika. Before redistricting in 2022 it also included parts of Edogawa ward. As of 2012, 440,965 eligible voters were registered in the district. [1]

Contents

Before the electoral reform of 1994, Katsushika, Edogawa and Adachi had been part of Tokyo 10th district where five Representatives were elected by single non-transferable vote.

The only representative for the 17th district since its creation has been Katsuei Hirasawa (LDP, Yamasaki faction), former Vice Minister in the Cabinet Office and former Chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Affairs. In the 2024 Japanese general election Hirasawa was not endorsed by the LDP because of involvement in the 2023–2024 Japanese slush fund scandal and ran as an independent candidate. [2]
