TOKYO: Japan's top three opposition leaders met on Wednesday (Oct 15) to seek a unified candidate for prime minister in their bid to oust the ruling party from power, only to find there were still "gaps" between them.
The attempted opposition realignment has so far prevented Sanae Takaichi, the new leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), from becoming Japan's first woman prime minister.
