The number of factions and the number of members have changed after the election. The factions "Komeito (6 people)", "Osaka Ishin no Kai (5 people)", and "Japanese Communist Party (2 people)" will continue from the previous term. The "New Neyagawa Club" and "New Wind Neyagawa" factions have disappeared, and a new faction called "Neyagawa Future" has been formed, resulting in a total of 4 factions. I have joined the "Neyagawa Future" faction, which has 11 members.

The new "Neyagawa Future" faction occupies 11 out of 24 seats, making it the faction with the highest representation in the Neyagawa City Council. This means that the faction's decision-making process will have a significant impact on the entire council.
