Three candidates ran in the Aichi 11th district: Tanno, the incumbent Liberal Democratic Party candidate Tetsuya Yagi, and the Japanese Communist Party candidate Kazuo Ueda. Rengo Aichi and the All Toyota Labor Union recommended Tanno. On October 17, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun reported the early results, stating that "Yagi has 80% of the LDP support base and is slightly ahead. Tanno is in hot pursuit." On October 23, the Akahata newspaper broke a scoop that the LDP had paid 20 million yen each to the branches of candidates who had been de-endorsed due to a slush fund scandal. The newspaper's reporting dramatically changed the situation in the final stages. On October 24, the Nihon Keizai Shimbun published the results of a survey conducted from the 22nd to the 24th. The results for Aichi Prefecture's 11th district stated that "Tanno is one step ahead, while Yagi is in hot pursuit," and the order was reversed. The general election was held on October 27. Shortly after the voting deadline of 8 p.m., Tanno was elected for the first time. Yagi was 77 years old at the time of the election, which meant he was subject to the LDP's internal rules requiring a 73-year-old retirement age for proportional representation districts. He did not run in the proportional representation district, and therefore lost his seat.
