The chief of the association is Tokujitsu Miyagi, the former Mayor of Kadena Town, and the incumbent Nago City Mayor, Susumu Inamine is scheduled to join.

Mayor Onaga strongly emphasized, “The campaign pledge of Governor Hirokazu Nakaima was to replace the MCAS Futenma with a facility in some other prefecture four years ago. Okinawan citizens have not yet approved the landfill plan. People of Okinawa will judge this at the gubernatorial election. I will never allow to make the new base, and the Futenma base will never stay where it is. Okinawan citizens have said ‘No Henoko!’”
