Although the Centrist Reform Alliance decided to disband the party, it has indicated that it will continue to exist for the time being, leaving one lawmaker in place in order to receive approximately 1.1 billion yen in party subsidies. Representative Junya Ogawa explains that the purpose of the move is to pay for the House of Representatives election, but there are voices on social media pointing out the contradiction with the Liberal Democratic Party's criticism of slush funds, making it unclear whether they will gain understanding amid soaring prices. The Constitutional Democratic Party-affiliated party was to form a new party, and the Komeito-affiliated party was to rejoin the party, but because they are considered a "split faction" under the Political Party Subsidy Act and cannot receive unfunded funds, they have decided to postpone ``splitting (splitting),'' which would take a long time to complete.

Vice President Vance delivered the keynote speech at the Republican National Convention in Dallas, Texas, pledging victory in the November midterm elections. Vance, who is considered a leading candidate for the 2028 presidential election, has an opportunity to raise his profile within the party, but there is also the risk that he will be held accountable depending on the election results. In his speech, he talked about his experiences growing up in a poor family and expressed his frustration at being called a racist. On the other hand, Secretary of State Rubio, who is expected by traditional conservatives, did not participate due to overseas travel, and his absence was conspicuous. Participants were asked both about their support for Mr. Vance and their liking for Mr. Rubio.

The government and ruling party have announced that, in conjunction with the food consumption tax cut starting in April next year, they will create special and transitional measures for things such as changing price tags and pre-order sales at retail stores. However, with such a short preparation period, the system could become complicated, leading to confusion among business operators and consumers. Support for agriculture, forestry and fisheries workers and the restaurant industry has also been raised as an issue.

It is expected that personnel changes to the Liberal Democratic Party in the House of Councilors will be made soon in line with the cabinet reshuffle and personnel changes to LDP executives. The focus is on the treatment of House of Councilors Secretary-General Junichi Ishii, and it is said that his feud with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is behind this. However, House of Councilors personnel affairs are considered a ``sanctuary'' beyond the prime minister's authority, and House of Councilors Chairman Seiji Matsuyama holds the actual authority over personnel affairs. Mr. Ishii is well-versed in the management of the Diet and has created the Diet calendar, known as the ``Ishii Calendar,'' but reportedly had a rift with the prime minister over budget deliberations at the special session of the Diet. Mr. Ishii revealed to those involved that he said, ``I don't care which way I go. If I am removed, I will have no role.''

Thirty years have passed since the agreement was reached to return Futenma Air Base, and the eighth Okinawa prefecture gubernatorial election will be held. The condition of the return was that it be relocated within the prefecture, but U.S. official documents have revealed the existence of a new return condition, causing distrust and fatigue among prefectural residents. Prefectural residents continue to oppose the relocation to Henoko, making it an issue in the gubernatorial election.

At a press conference on the 11th, Junya Ogawa, representative of the Centrist Reform Alliance, announced his intention to launch a new party by the end of next week, which will be formed by members of the House of Representatives affiliated with the Constitutional Democratic Party.
