The prospect of the election of Mr. Edano to join the new party
Representatives of the new constitutional parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party and the National Democratic Party are voted by the members of parliament who participate in the new party on the 10th, and the representative of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Edano, who is spreading support beyond the party, is elected as a representative. It is a prospect.
The representative election of the confluent new party, which was a dispute between the National Democratic Party's chairman Izumi and the Constitutional Democratic Party representative, Edano, was voted by a 149-member parliamentarian who participated in the new party at a hotel in Tokyo on the 10th. The votes will be sent immediately and the representative will be elected.
In the election campaign, Mr. Edano expanded his support beyond the party by receiving support from members of the Constitutional Democratic Party, which accounts for nearly 60% of the members joining the confluent new party, as well as part of the National Democratic Party and independent members. Therefore, it is expected to be elected as the representative.
It is said that Mr. Edano's camp needs to overwhelm the national elections in order to take the lead in the personnel affairs of the new party, and is aiming to obtain more than 100 votes, which is 70% of all the members of the new party.
On the other hand, Mr. Izumi's camp is also trying to catch up by invoking members of the Constitutional Democratic Party who are critical of Mr. Edano's party management in order to secure a certain influence in the new party. To solidify the foundation, the focus is on the difference between the two votes.
Also, in the representative election, a vote to decide the name of the new party will be held, and while Izumi proposes "Democratic Party" and Edano proposes "Constitutional Democratic Party", which party name will gain support Kaga becomes another focus.
