政治｜国民民主党の危機感と地方戦略 / Politics | The Democratic Party for the People’s Sense of Crisis and Local Strategy

Summary

The Democratic Party for the People has expressed its intention to focus on expanding its influence in local areas, but the weakness of its local organizations has been cited as a reason for its poor performance in the House of Representatives elections.

As it aims to increase the number of local legislators in preparation for the unified local elections next spring and future national elections, a sense of crisis is spreading within the party due to recent scandals. The demand for silence regarding compensation for campaign workers has been particularly problematic, making the restoration of the party’s credibility an urgent priority.

Admin’s Note

The movements of the Democratic Party for the People are attracting attention, but to gain support at the local level, a solid foundation is necessary. In light of scandals affecting the party, a key challenge is how to rebuild trust. As Chako pointed out, without trust, achieving success in elections will be difficult. When considering the future of the party, actions characterized by transparency and integrity are essential.
