Parliamentary Vice-Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Komori submits resignation due to 700,000 yen of income not being listed on income and expenditure report. Komori belongs to the Abe faction of the Liberal Democratic Party.

Last month, the government replaced 10 of the 15 members of the Abe party over this issue, but Komori remained in the post. "Trust in politics is an extremely important issue, and I share the weight of that issue by accepting your letter of resignation," said.
