Mr. Mitsuru Sakurai, a member of the House of Councilors who has been admitted to the National LDP, will be banned from membership on May 20, 20:26
Regarding the member of the House of Councilors Mitsuru Sakurai who has submitted a notice of membership to the Liberal Democratic Party, the National Democratic Party, which had once received the notice of leaving the party, decided that he would be dismissed as "a serious anti-party act."
Mr. Mitsuru Sakurai, who was elected by the House of Councilors Miyagi constituency, left the National Democratic Party last year and remained a parliamentary group that created an independent constitutional Democratic Party, etc., but last week submitted a withdrawal notice and joined the LDP's parliamentary group. I have submitted a notification.
In response to this, the National Democratic Party at the general affairs meeting on the 20th said, "I explained that it will remain in the parliamentary party, so I received the notice of withdrawal from the party, but if I join the LDP's parliamentary group, unlike the explanation at that time, it is a serious anti-party act. As a result, I decided to withdraw the acceptance of the departure party notification and to remove Mr. Sakurai from his post.
The National Democratic Party will soon open a party ethics committee to officially decide on the disposition.
