Yuriko Koike places a green rosette on the name of an elected candidate of her new party, Tomin First no Kai, or Tokyoites First Party, written in green above, as she waits for the result of Sunday's city assembly election in Tokyo, July 2, 2017.

Sunday’s election results are closely monitored as one that could alter national politics. (Suo Takekuma/Kyodo News via AP)
