Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said Sunday that the arrest of Liberal Democratic Party lawmaker Yoshitaka Ikeda in connection with suspected violations of the Political Funds Control Law was a “matter of great regret.”
Ikeda belongs to the Abe faction of the LDP.
“It is a matter of great regret and I take it very seriously,” Kishida said to members of the press at the Prime Minister’s Office. “The party must work with a strong sense of crisis to restore trust in politics.”
