Prime Minister Fumio Kishida suffered one other blow in Japan’s widest-ranging political scandal in a long time with the arrest of a ruling social gathering lawmaker on Sunday.
Kishida instructed reporters Sunday that he was conscious of the detention of Yoshitaka Ikeda, a member of the Liberal Democratic Occasion’s largest faction, and known as it “very regrettable, and we take it very severely.” Ikeda might be expelled from the social gathering, Kishida mentioned.
