Regarding the merger with the Constitutional Democratic Party, Rep. Izawa Ozawa, a member of the National Democratic Party, held a meeting of the party leaders early next week to indicate that it should formally agree.

The Constitutional Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party will meet in the end of last month, with the secretaries-generals of the two parties meeting and agreeing to join the parties, and the leaders will soon meet.

Rep. Ichiro Ozawa, a member of the National Democratic Party, said at a New Year's party held at his home in Tokyo on Tuesday, saying, "The wish of the people is that we want a political party that will replace the Abe administration, and the opposition will rally as soon as possible. We have to defeat the strange government that we have now. "

He added, "It seems that we are in agreement to negotiate the leadership talks. The ordinary Diet is expected to convene this month, and we have to get an agreement next week to process the merger." In the first half of next week, the two parties held a meeting of leaders, indicating that they should formally agree.
