The ruling Liberal Democratic Party has abandoned its plan to submit a draft constitutional revision during the current parliamentary session, which ends on June 23.
The LDP noted that if it continues despite resistance from the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) and others, it would affect deliberations on a bill to amend the Political Funds Control Law drafted in the light of a scandal surrounding the funds in which the LDP was involved. factions.
The decision effectively ended Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s attempt to secure a constitutional revision before his term as LDP president ends in September. The party’s conservative wing is likely to lash out against the failure, potentially impacting Kishida’s strategy to be re-elected as party chairman.
