Japan Innovation Party

The Japan Innovation Party (JIP), also known as Nippon Ishin no Kai, is a relatively new conservative political entity in Japan. It gained prominence when it entered into a coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to form the current ruling government under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. JIP's recent involvement includes backing gubernatorial candidates like Yoshihiro Murai and advocating for significant electoral reforms, such as reducing the number of Lower House seats by about 50 proportional representation spots. These actions highlight its growing influence in Japanese politics, making it a key player in shaping national policies and elections.
