Komeito leader indicates possibility of renewing coalition with LDP if demands are met


TOKYO: Komeito leader Tetsuo Saito (pic) has indicated that he would not rule out the possibility of renewing a coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party in the future if the LDP were to accept Komeito’s demands regarding “politics and money” issues.

During a meeting with new LDP President Sanae Takaichi last week, talks broke down after Saito called for the LDP to strengthen regulations on donations from corporations and organizations and fully confirm the circumstances regarding violations of the Political Funds Control Law by factions of the LDP.
