A | BATON ROUGE, La. -- As Louisiana’s gubernatorial election commences Saturday, Republicans are hoping to reclaim the governor’s mansion after an eight-year hiatus while Democrats try to keep the coveted position in a state where Donald Trump garnered a majority of the votes during the last two presidential elections. Six major candidates — four Republicans, one Democrat and one independent — are vying for the seat that is being vacated by Gov. John Bel Edwards, the only Democratic governor in the Deep South. With Edwards unable to run due to consecutive term limits, the election opens a huge opportunity for Republicans to win Louisiana’s top position.Louisiana is one of three states with a gubernatorial election this fall, along with Mississippi and Kentucky.In total, 14 candidates are competing to succeed Edwards under a “ jungle primary " system in which all candidates, regardless of party affiliation, appear together on the same ballot on Saturday. If no candidate tops 50% of the votes, the top two vote-getters will advance to a runoff on Nov. 18. Among the Republican candidates is Attorney General Jeff Landry, who earned the endorsement of high profile Republicans including former President Trump and U.S. Rep Steve Scalise, as well as a controversial early endorsement from the state GOP. Throughout the race, Landry has enjoyed a sizable fundraising advantage over the rest of the field. He has also faced political attacks from opponents on social media and in interviews, calling him a bully and making accusations of backroom deals to gain support.The other major candidates running for governor are GOP state Sen. Sharon Hewitt; Hunter Lundy, a Lake Charles-based attorney running as an independent; Republican state Treasurer John Schroder; Stephen Waguespack, the Republican former head of a powerful business group and former senior aide to then-Gov. Bobby Jindal; and Shawn Wilson, a Democrat and former head of Louisiana’s Transportation and Development Department. State Rep. Richard Nelson withdrew from the race in September and endorsed Landry but will remain on the ballot per state election laws.With four significant GOP candidates vying for the position, Democrats are hopeful that Wilson, their sole major candidate, will succeed. In the past the Democratic Party has coalesced behind one candidate, instead of splitting votes, to push their candidate through to a runoff and hopefully face a Republican who is limping into the general election following scrutiny and targeted political attack ads.Saturday’s election also features a slew of statewide contests, four ballot measures and localized races, including all 39 Senate seats and 105 House seats, although a significant number of incumbents are running unopposed. The governor’s race is not the only statewide office up for grabs without an incumbent on the ballot. There is also the attorney general, secretary of state, treasurer and insurance commissioner. Tim Temple, a former insurance executive vying for insurance commissioner, is running unopposed.One closely watched race is for the job of secretary of state. Republican Kyle Ardoin holds the position but opted not to seek reelection.Whoever is elected will take on the crucial task of replacing Louisiana’s outdated voting machines, which don’t produce the paper ballots critical to ensuring accurate election results.The lengthy and ongoing replacement process was thrust into the national spotlight after allegations of bid-rigging. Voting machine companies claimed favoritism, and conspiracy theorists, who support Trump’s lies that the 2020 presidential election was stolen, inserted themselves into the conversation. Conspiracy theorists urged Ardoin to ditch voting machines altogether and instead rely on hand-counted paper ballots.Among the candidates running for secretary of state are GOP state House Speaker Clay Schexnayder; First Assistant Secretary of State Nancy Landry, a Republican; Mike Francis, a public service commissioner and former chair of the state GOP; and Gwen Collins-Greenup, a Democrat and attorney. All four say they are against hand-counting paper ballots. Also running for the position is grocery store owner Brandon Trosclair, who has aligned himself with a movement of conservative activists who believe there has been widespread fraud in Louisiana’s elections. The Republican supports hand-counted paper ballots, a notion that election clerks have spoken against as it would involve counting tens of thousands of ballots in many parishes.。 「抽選方式での注文再開が決定」 2025年1月30日に発表されるや否や、5万台もの注文が殺到したスズキ ジムニーノマド(以下、ノマド)。スズキも「これは売れる!」という自信はあったと思いますが、ここまでの反響は想定していなかったのでしょう。なんとわずか4日間で受注停止という事態に陥りました。【オプションに追加されたバックアイカメラ付きディスプレイオーディオ・スズキコネクト対応通信機】 オーダーができなかった人は「生産台数を増やして早く受注を再開してくれ!」と思っていたはず。

B | しかしクルマの生産計画はそう簡単に変更できるものではありません。

C | しかもノマドはインドのグルガオン工場で生産され、日本をはじめ中東やアフリカ、中南米などに輸出されています。そのため、日本の都合だけで各国への割り当てを変えるのが難しいという事情もあります。それでもスズキは当初月販1200台だった日本への割り当てを同年7月から3300台に増産。SNSを見ていると同年9月頃から納車が急ピッチで進んでいることが伝わってきました。そして2025年10月27日、スズキは2026年1月30日からノマドの受注を再開すると発表。実に1年ぶりの受注再開です。

D | デビュー時は購入希望車が殺到して混乱が生じました(筆者がたまたま発表翌日にスズキディーラーに行ったら、平日の午前中なのに商談待ちの列ができていたほどです)。でも今回は1月30日から2月28日までの1ヵ月間、全国のスズキ販売店の店頭で申し込み(電話やメールは不可)をし、締切後に抽選で納車の順番を決める方法が取られます。

E | もちろん3月1日以降も受注停止にはならず、通常通り注文ができます。ただ、2月28日までに相当数の注文が入ることは予想されるので、3月以降に注文する場合は1年以上(下手すれば2年近く?)の納車待ちは覚悟したほうがいいでしょう。

F | そして抽選に申し込むことを考えている人も、「まだ時間があるから」とのんびりせず、早めに家族に購入の相談をしてスズキ販売店に行くことをおすすめします。うっかり2月末までに注文するのを忘れると、取り返しがつかないことになります。
