People's New Party
In the mostly rural Hokuriku-shin'etsu block, the results were mostly static, with the LDP capturing one DPJ seat around Kanazawa in Ishikawa Prefecture and holding Fukui #1 against a rebel, but losing the seat of postal rebel and People's New Party leader Tamisuke Watanuki in Toyama Prefecture, with the PNP also retaining a proportional seat.
