Rijkens (/ˈrɪkənz/) is an electoral district of the Enderronian Parliament in Tojima Prefecture, first contested at the 1986 federal election. It is named after scientist Niels Rijkens and is located on the northern outer fringe of Shirakawa.
The sitting member, since the 2014 by-election, is Nick Pisano, a member of the Liberal Party of Enderron.
==History==
Rijkens was created at the 1986 redistribution, replacing a similarly located electorate named Kuiper. Rijkens and Kuiper have always been based in eastern Tojima, although Kuiper was geographically larger and originally did not reach the outer periphery of Shirakawa, making it an entirely rural seat. Kuiper was held by the centre-right United Party for all but one term during its existence between 1950 and 1986; future New Democratic Party leader Walt Misaka was the only non-United member, between 1958 and 1962.
In a similar fashion, Rijkens has generally been a safe seat for the Liberal Party and its predecessors. The Social Democratic Party has only won Rijkens once, at the 1994 landslide.
Rijkens' most well-known member is former Prime Minister Sherry Matsuda, who held it from 2005 to 2014.
