Fukushima Gov. Sato not to seek reelection

FUKUSHIMA, Japan - Fukushima Gov. Yuhei Sato, now in his second term as head of the northeastern prefecture, tells a news conference at his office in Fukushima city on Sept. 4, 2014, that he will not run in a gubernatorial election on Oct. 26. Citing his recent decision to accept a central government plan to build facilities for storing contaminated soil near the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant, he said this will set the stage for his successor to carry on with his ideas.
