無投票で７選が決まる（7 election is determined without a contest）

任期満了に伴う長野県南佐久郡川上村長選は７日告示され、現職の藤原忠彦氏＝無所属、大深山＝が立候補し、無投票で７選が決まった。同村長選の無投票は３回連続。７選は、県内首長で最多。　藤原氏は当選後、無投票での７選について「選挙で政策を訴えたかった」とした上で「目線を下げて世論をしっかりと聞いていきたい」と述べた。「常に新しい感覚で、住んで良かったと思える村にしたい」と強調し、農業が村の柱であることを念頭に「村の活力を伸ばすため、農業政策だけでなく医療や福祉などにも力を入れていく」とした。　藤原氏は昨年１２月の村議会定例会で立候補を表明。２０１０年４月から全国町村会長を務めている。対立候補も出ないということは現状の村政に疑問を持つ方々もいないということなんでしょうかね。それにしても、そろそろ世代交代が必要な気もしますがどうなんでしょうかね。
