Komeito, a Japanese political party that recently left the ruling coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), may support candidates from the opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) in future elections, according to Komeito Secretary-General Makoto Nishida. Nishida expressed shock at Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's first policy address for not addressing political donations, a key issue that contributed to Komeito's departure from the coalition. Following this split, the LDP formed a new ruling coalition with the Japan Innovation Party. Komeito plans to question the LDP on inflation measures, social security reform, and policies concerning foreigners during upcoming parliamentary sessions starting November 4th.
