Tokyo DispatchJapan, in EnglishThe Liberal Democratic Party, Nippon Ishin no Kai and the Democratic Party for the People settled on a bill that also changes how proportional seats are allocated and merges two regional blocs.
The three parties will submit a joint bill within the week to trim proportional-representation seats, aiming for enactment by 2027. Opposition parties say the rules are being rewritten mid-game.
Sohei Kamiya thanked the party and said he would work across ideological lines, while warning that opposition parties are playing into the ruling coalition's hands.
