Japanese premier may dissolve parliament if no-confidence motion submitted
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba may dissolve parliament if the opposition submits a no-confidence motion against him, local media reported Tuesday.
Ishiba, whose coalition is in the minority in the lower house of parliament, could take the move before any no-confidence motion is put to a vote in the House of Representatives, according to Kyodo News Agency. The LDP-Komeito coalition currently holds 215 seats in the House of Representatives, short of the 233 needed to pass legislation in the 465-seat chamber.
