TOKYO: Tokyo's governor submitted his resignation on Wednesday after being criticised over lavish personal spending and faced with a no-confidence vote in the local assembly, reports said.
Yoichi Masuzoe, 67, informed the speaker of the Tokyo legislature of his intention to quit, public broadcaster NHK and other media reported, ahead of a scheduled no-confidence motion vote by lawmakers later in the day. Tokyo officials could not immediately confirm the reports.
