On the 14th, the three parties—the Centrist Reform Alliance, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP), and Komeito—held a meeting of their respective secretaries-general within the Diet, expressing strong concerns regarding the administration's handling of the Diet under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi. The three parties cited the Prime Minister's failure to promptly respond to the intensive deliberations of the Budget Committee, characterizing this as a "disregard for the Diet." During the meeting, the parties agreed on a policy to rigorously question Prime Minister Takaichi regarding this issue during the leadership debate scheduled for the 15th.
