A voluntary group of the Liberal Democratic Party’s conservative members, including Sanae Takaichi, the minister in charge of economic security, held its first regular luncheon gathering on Thursday at the Diet building.
Takaichi is said to have hopes of succeeding Fumio Kishida as LDP president and serves as an adviser of the group “Hoshu Danketsu no Kai” (Conservative solidarity group).
The group is thought to be aiming for strengthened solidarity through regular gatherings, ahead of the LDP presidential election in autumn.
