The company's new virus shortens party convention time on February 20 at 14:41

Following the spread of the new coronavirus, the Social Democratic Party has decided to shorten the time of the party convention on March 22 and 23 this month.

Following the spread of the new coronavirus, the Social Democratic Party discussed how to run the party congress scheduled for the 22nd and 23rd at its permanent secretary meeting on the 20th.

As a result, the policy to be held in two days will not be changed, but we decided to shorten the time by not distributing the bills and distributing only to prevent the spread of infection.

In addition, people with cold symptoms such as fever are encouraged to be absent, and alcohol disinfection is placed at the venue to respond.

Approximately 200 people, including members of parliament and representatives of local organizations nationwide, will attend the party convention, hold a party election and discuss the merger with the Constitutional Democratic Party.

At a press conference, Mr. Yoshikawa stated, "We will conduct necessary discussions based on the importance of the party convention, but we will try to reduce the time as much as possible."
