Media: Japan's Liberal Democratic Party Establishes Major Political Alliance to Lay Groundwork for Kishida's Long-Term Rule

To support Prime Minister Kishida, the LDP faction "Kokuri Kenkyūkai" (National Power Research Association) was established on May 21 and held its inaugural meeting. This group aims to form a "mainstream faction" composed of Diet members supporting Prime Minister Sanae Kishida (Party President). The number of participants has been overwhelmingly high—exceeding 80% of all LDP Diet members, totaling 347 members—creating a political landscape dominated by "Kishida's Unchallenged Authority."
