Meiji Restoration Representative Baba calls for unity, “aiming to become the ruling party that replaces the Liberal Democratic Party” He also said that the next House of Representatives election is likely to be held in June. The party plans to expand its influence independently without coordinating candidates with other opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party.
Some members of the party's executive committee say that the party is not gaining as much penetration as expected outside of Kansai and the issue remains how to expand support across the country.
