In a very strange and shocking election campaign, an “entrepreneur” - who has filed a nomination for the position of governor in Tokyo, took off her shirt on a recorded video and asked the people if they found her "sexy" enough to give votes to her.&nbsp;

In the bizarre promotion of herself, the candidate Airi Uchino - who belonged to the populist right-wing NHK Party - was sitting across a table. She was wearing a button-up shirt as she spoke in a high-pitched, anime-style voice to the Japanese voters.

“I’m so cute; please watch my campaign broadcast,” the candidate said while smiling coyly in the video shared on X on June 27. She added, “Do you think I’m sexy?”

She then appealed to the voters to follow her on social media and said that she would respond to each one of them individually before she removed her shirt and was then seen wearing only a tight, skin-coloured tube top. She also posed in a way that made her appear topless on camera.

The woman, who is a cocktail bar owner, removed her glasses and delivered the entire speech in a skimpy outfit. The video soon went viral and garnered millions of views.

<h2>Here's how netizens reacted to the viral video</h2>

The people were not really happy to see her appeal for votes by stripping her shirt.

''While it is true that people strive to stand out, and our society's obsession with appearances often rewards outlandish behaviour, nevertheless, individuals who lack substance will inevitably be unmasked by the passage of time," said one user.

''At this point, they should change the rules… the race is turning into a farce and distracting people from the real issues. Democracy and all but this is not it," commented another.

Japan's election candidate takes off her shirt in video to appeal for votes, asks if she is 'sexy'

Football legend Diego Maradona's daughter claimed that her father's 'Hand of God'&nbsp;shirt which is up for auction is not the one that the Argentine wore during his infamous goal against England at the 1986 World Cup.

The jersey which is up for auction was reportedly worn by the iconic No 10 when he scored his infamous "Hand of God" goal against England at the 1986 FIFA World Cup.

England's Steve Hodge became the lucky player who swapped the jersey with the Argentinean great, after the match.

The shirt has now been put up for auction by the former Nottingham Forest, Tottenham and Aston Villa midfielder Hodge and is expected to fetch £4 million (USD5m).

But now, Maradona's family have suggested that the shirt worn by the legendary figure during the second half of an iconic fixture in Mexico is actually in the possession of somebody else.

"It's not the shirt my father wore in the second half. I'm sure Hodge doesn't have it, and I know who does. I don't want to say who has it, because that's crazy," Goal.com quoted Diego Maradona's daughter, Dalma as saying.

"It's our word against that ex-players. I don't think he needs the money either unless he auctions it off for a good cause. It would be good if the Argentine Football Association bought it," said Maradona's ex-wife, Claudia Villafane.

Meanwhile, Hodge has said of auctioning the shirt off: "I have been the proud owner of this item for over 35 years since Diego and I swapped shirts in the tunnel after the famed match. It was an absolute privilege to have played against one of the greatest and most magnificent football players of all time."

Diego Maradona passed away on November 25, 2020. He was 60 when he breathed his last.
