Japan Ruling Party Faces July Elections After No-Confidence Vote
Prime Minister Miyazawa, in a weakened LDP amid a party split, schedules elections for July 18 after a no-confidence defeat. Rebel factions, led by Tsutomu Hata and others, plan new parties possibly denying the LDP a majority in the 512 seat lower house. The campaign begins July 4 with the Group of Seven summit to follow in Tokyo.
