LDP toying with revenge tactics over Komeito’s decision to bolt

When they were buddies, the LDP and Komeito were in agreement about not fielding candidates in single-seat districts where the other party already has a candidate. Komeito ran candidates in 11 such districts in the 2024 Lower House election.

Now that Komeito is an adversary, the LDP will do everything possible to win more seats in the chamber, one source said.
