Puranik Yogendra, a 41-year-old has turned out to be the first Indian to win an election in Japan.

Yogendra, shortly called as Yogi, hails from Pune, Maharashtra. As a part of unified local elections, on April 21st, a poll has been conducted across Japan.

The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan has backed Yogi, due to which he could get the whooping 6477 votes, which was identified as the 5th highest of the 226,561 valid ballots cast. Yogi has been elected to Tokyo’s Edogawa Ward assembly. After the victory, he has expressed his wish to be a bridge between Japanese and foreigners.

Speaking about the victory, Shamshad Khan, the author of Changing Dynamics of India-Japan Relations, said, “this is the first-ever victory of a naturalised Japanese of Indian origin in elections in Japan. This is also a recognition of the contributions made by Indians towards the Japanese society.”

Yogi as mentioned in the manifesto, has promised to bring more creche for babies and also provide enough support for non-local kids to join into government schools. Adding to it, vocational training to breast feeding mothers is what that attracted many in Yogi’s manifesto.
