The House of Representatives’ Political Ethics Review Committee has determined to analyze 44 lawmakers from the Abe and Nikai factions of the Liberal Democratic Party following a scandal involving undisclosed political funds. This choice is available in response to a request from opposition events.

During a day session, the Political Ethics Review Committee unanimously agreed to look at 44 lawmakers from the Abe and Nikai factions for failing to report political donations of their funding experiences. Six members, together with former Chief Cabinet Secretary Matsuno from the Abe faction and former Internal Affairs Minister Takeda from the Nikai faction, who’ve already attended the committee, will not be included on this overview.

Attendance on the committee just isn’t necessary, so the committee will confirm by May 20 if the lawmakers below overview want to present explanations.

Following final month’s by-election leads to the House of Representatives, the Constitutional Democratic Party gained three extra seats, permitting the opposition to independently request the committee’s classes.
