Liberal Democratic Party decides not to field official candidates for House of Representatives by-election in Tokyo's 15th ward and Nagasaki's 3rd ward. As a result, the Liberal Democratic Party will field an official candidate in Shimane 1st Ward.

Secretary-General Motegi told reporters after the meeting, ``Although there were circumstances in each constituency, the circumstances that led to by-elections made it difficult for our party to field candidates. I'm sure there were situations like that," he said.
