The Liberal Democratic Party is using both persuasion and pressure to try to get the Komeito Party to reconsider and rejoin the alliance!
The Secretary-General of the Liberal Democratic Party, Shun'ichi Suzuki, commented today on the Komeito Party's withdrawal from the coalition government, saying: "Three days ago, we were still an alliance. We jointly proposed this year's budget, had various common policies, and for the Liberal Democratic Party, the party with the most affinity was Komeito. We will not continue with the idea of cutting off all relations from now on, and both sides will continue to explore cooperation."
Shun'ichi Suzuki also expressed his views on the Komeito Party's stance in the House of Representatives election in the 4th District of Hokkaido, stating that if the Komeito Party ultimately insists on leaving the coalition government, it would be difficult to discuss cooperation between the two parties in the election. This would mean that the cooperation between the Komeito Party and the Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Representatives election in the 4th District of Hokkaido would return to a blank slate.
"The Liberal Democratic Party member serving as a proportional representative in the 4th District of Hokkaido will run in the small electoral district, while the Komeito Party member will also participate in the campaign in the small electoral district, because of the coalition, the Liberal Democratic Party has assisted the Komeito Party's election. If the coalition is dissolved, everything will go back to square one."
