Over the summer House of Councilors election, the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Communist Party have shelved the state of cooperation in the event of a pending change of government, and the unification of candidates in the one-person district will win. We agreed to prioritize and limit the constituencies that are likely to occur.

Secretary-general Nishimura of the Constitutional Democratic Party and Secretary-general Koike of the Communist Party met in the Diet on the 9th to discuss cooperation in the summer Upper House election.



At the meeting, the Constitutional Democratic Party, which said it "does not exist now," and the Communist Party, who said it should be maintained, about an agreement on how to cooperate in the event of a peaceful transition of power, which was signed during the House of Councilors election last year. We couldn't agree and confirmed that we would shelve discussions in the summer Upper House elections.



On top of that, the unification of candidates in a one-person district with a single capacity, which is said to affect the outcome of the entire election, gives priority to the constituencies that are likely to win the ruling party's candidates, and is limited. We agreed on the policy to do.



However, in this election, the Communist Party does not have a candidate in the one-person district where the incumbent of the Constitutional Democratic Party is planning to run, so the actual candidate adjustment is only a limited election. It is expected to stay in the ward.
