Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike speaks during her regular press conference at the Tokyo Metropolitan Government building on March 24, 2017, Tokyo, Japan. Koike announced the creation of a market strategy headquarters to consider the relocation of the Tsukiji wholesale food market to the problematic newly constructed site in Toyosu. She also said that she would not make the market scandal a key issue in her campaign in the July city assembly elections, where her political allies will stand against candidates from the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
