Corresponding to Mr. Sekiguchi, Representative of the Takeshita House of Councilors Election of the LDP President August 31 11:17

Regarding the LDP presidential election, which elects to replace Prime Minister Abe, a member of the House of Representatives of the Takeshita faction met in Tokyo on the morning of the 31st.

The meeting was attended by Chairman of the House of Representatives Sekiguchi Liberal Democratic Party, who is the chairman of the House of Councilors of the faction, and former Vice-Chairman of the House of Councilors Otsuji.

Many Takeshita members of the House of Representatives supported former secretary-general Ishiba by acting differently from the House of Representatives in the last presidential election.

Therefore, at the meeting, there was an opinion that “we should create a flow so that we can act in unison with the entire faction,” and we confirmed that Mr. Sekiguchi would be in charge.

In addition, the House of Representatives of the faction will be required to respect the intention of the House of Councilors.
