Higashi is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Tojima Prefecture, first contested at the 2014 federal election. It is located in the inner eastern suburbs of Shirakawa, centred on Higashi, which it is named for.
The sitting member, since the 2014 federal election, is Naomi Takahashi, a member of the Social Democratic Party.
==History==
Higashi was created in 2014 following a major redistribution in Shirakawa. It was created from the southern portions of Itabashi and Kitaoka, and the northern third of Durston. Its territory covers a similar area to Hayakita, which had been abolished in 2006, and like its predecessor, is a safe seat for the Social Democrats.
