According to the report, Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, also president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, said Monday that she will resign immediately if the coalition of the LDP and the Japan Innovation Party fails to win a majority in the House of Representatives in the upcoming general election.
The report stated that Takaichi made this remark during a debate among party leaders a day before the 12-day official campaign period for the Feb. 8 general election began on Tuesday.
The report also stated that they decided to face public judgment after they made a major political shift by forming a new coalition between the LDP and the JIP.
The report said that the prime minister indicated her intention to submit a bill to temporarily reduce the consumption tax rate for food products to zero during a possible extraordinary Diet session this autumn.
Additionally, Yoshihiko Noda, co-leader of the Centrist Reform Alliance, a new party formed by the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan and Komeito, the LDP's former coalition partner, said that they hope to change politics while putting residents (in Japan) first.
