The Liberal Democratic Party's Ishiba faction wants to draw a conclusion on what the faction should be, including changing to a looser group by allowing it to work with other factions in response to the decrease in the number of members in the previous House of Representatives election. It is said that.
The Liberal Democratic Party's Ishiba faction was formed six years ago, led by former secretary general Ishiba, but after Mr. Ishiba resigned as chairman following the defeat in the presidential election last year, the members of the House of Representatives withdrew one after another. In the previous House of Representatives election, the number of members belonging to the House of Representatives decreased from 15 before the election to 12 due to retirement and defeat.
In response to this, Mr. Ishiba interviewed the members of the Diet individually, and based on the fact that Mr. Ishiba forgot to run for the presidential election in September, "It is a faction formed to make Mr. Ishiba the president. As mentioned above, it may be difficult to survive, "he said, saying that it would be difficult to continue activities as they are.
Also, while some lawmakers have indicated their intention to leave the faction, others have wanted to engage in political activities with Mr. Ishiba.
For this reason, the Ishiba faction wants to come to a close conclusion about what the faction should be, including allowing it to work with other factions and changing it to a looser group.
