Komeito

The Komeito party, which joined Japan's opposition earlier this year after leaving the ruling coalition, has decided to support its own candidates in nationwide local elections next spring, government sources said Saturday. In an online meeting with local organizations on Friday, it announced it would not join the Centrist Reform Alliance for the elections.

Since campaigning for Japan's 2026 Lower House election began late last month, one lingering question has been where Komeito's votes will go. Clues may emerge from Amagasaki, an industrial city in Hyogo Prefecture neighboring Osaka. This district has long been a stronghold for the party.
