On October 20, Japan's "Daily Shimbun" quoted relevant sources as saying that three members of the Japanese House of Representatives caucus "Aspiration for Reform", which is composed of non-partisan members, are expected to vote in support of the Liberal Democratic Party President Takashi Saami in the prime minister's named election tomorrow.
The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan and the Japan Reform Council formally reached a consensus on forming a ruling coalition on the 20th. At present, the Liberal Democratic Party has 196 seats, and the Japan Reform Council has 35 seats, bringing a total of 234 seats, more than half of the seats in the House of Representatives. Coupled with the support of some members of the "Society for Reform", the possibility of Takashi Saami winning more than half of the seats in the first round of voting and being elected as the new Japanese Prime Minister will be greatly enhanced.
According to the "read and sell news" news, the self-government party vice president Moshin Tauro on the 15th meeting with the House of Representatives party group "wish reform" parliamentarians, asking the other party to support the nomination in the election "wish reform" party group is currently composed of 7 non-party parliamentarians, three of whom left the party in September this year.
The three people who announced their support for Takashi this time are Qimu Takeshi of the former Reform Association and others. Congressman Shou Shima of the "Aspiring Reform Association" said on his X (formerly Twitter): "The name of Takaichi will be written unanimously from the first round."
Due to the failure of consensus within the Reform Party on the election of the prime minister's nomination, the group is expected to dissolve.
