Between 1947 and 2007 Gunma was represented by four Councillors, electing two at a time by single non-transferable vote. Like most two-member districts Gunma often split seats between the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and the Japan Socialist Party (JSP) despite being a conservative stronghold and home to the families of Prime Ministers Fukuda, Nakasone and Obuchi. Councillors from Gunma include Fukuda's brother Hiroichi and Nakasone's son Hirofumi.
