A major tug-of-war is unfolding in Japanese politics. The Komeito Party, which has supported the ruling Liberal Democratic Party for 26 years, is in discussions with the possibility of leaving the coalition due to dissatisfaction with the way the party has handled the slush fund scandal. Even now, the ruling party does not have a majority, and if they were to leave the coalition, it would have a major impact on the future administration (they would be forced to cooperate with other opposition parties). While it is not yet considered highly likely, the situation is delicate, with the LDP being unable to select a prime minister, meaning a change of government could occur. Given these circumstances, the nomination of the prime minister is likely to be delayed until after the 20th.
