Prime Minister Kishida emphasizes the idea of restoring trust over political funding issue, including punishment of related members. "We must regain the Liberal Democratic Party," he said, emphasizing his intention to restore trust through measures such as disciplinary action against the relevant members.
The Liberal Democratic party held a National Political Affairs Research Chairman's Conference in Tokyo ahead of its party convention on the 16th. The issue surrounding the Liberal Democrats' political funding has attracted great suspicion from the public, leading to political distrust.
