In response to a series of conservative elections such as the Ishikawa prefectural governor's election held on the 13th, the Liberal Democratic Party is trying to unite the party and cooperate with the Komeito in preparation for the summer Upper House election. We are rushing to build a system, such as accelerating discussions with the House of Councilors.
In the Ishikawa prefectural governor's election, the support of local members of the Liberal Democratic Party was divided into three, including Mr. Hiroshi Hase, who was elected. , Conservative division elections are occurring one after another in various places.
Within the Liberal Democratic Party, there is a view that it is due to local circumstances and has little nationwide influence, but there are also voices concerned about the spread to the upper house election in the summer, saying that lumps may remain in local organizations. ..
For this reason, the Liberal Democratic Party headquarters is trying to unite, and Prime Minister Kishida said at the party convention yesterday, "In the upcoming Upper House election, we will unite and never win the mess. I will take the lead." I appealed.
In addition, regarding the election cooperation with the Komeito, which had been in a difficult situation, based on the agreement to make recommendations to each other, in addition to discussions by the secretary general and the chairman of the election measures committee, the House of Councilors election will accelerate coordination between local organizations. We are rushing to build a system for this.
