OSAKA -- Osaka Gov. Fusae Ohta formally announced Monday that she will seek a second term when her current term expires in February 2004.
"The revitalization of Osaka is not something that can be accomplished quickly and there is still much I want to do," she said.
Ohta was elected in February 2000 after a sexual harassment scandal precipitated the resignation of her populist predecessor, Knock Yokoyama.
