After receiving criminal punishment, members of the Liberal Democratic Party called it surprising'' and
less damage than expected.’‘
Regarding the criminal punishment, a former cabinet minister said, I was surprised that the secretary general of Abe's faction was not indicted.''

Deciding to “disband factions” one after another…Attention is focused on the Aso faction’s movements
On the 18th, Prime Minister Kishida announced the dissolution of the Kishida faction. It is already having a huge impact. In short, there is growing pressure within the party that if the Kishida faction is disbanded, then our faction must be disbanded as well.
First of all, the Nikai faction immediately decided to disband the faction'' on the 19th. The Abe faction, which is currently in turmoil, will hold an emergency general meeting, and one of its leaders is even talking about disbanding the group, saying,
Disbanding is an option.”
What is currently attracting the most attention is the Aso-ha movement. The Aso faction is angry at Prime Minister Kishida’s decision. Vice President Aso’s position is that factions are necessary from the perspective of training new employees.'' As a result, one Aso faction official expressed strong displeasure, saying,
Mr. Aso will definitely be angry” and “It’s selfish and populist.” The fact that Mr. Kishida did not consult in advance also seems to have had an effect.

A close aide to Prime Minister Kishida expressed concern that Mr. Kishida and Mr. Aso may be in a close match.'' While there are voices within the Aso faction saying,
If we do poorly, Kishida will be destroyed,” the Prime Minister’s side is bullish, saying, “If Kishida is destroyed, it will be the end of the Liberal Democratic Party itself.” On the 19th, Prime Minister Kishida had a direct meeting with Deputy Governor Aso, but I am curious whether his true intentions were conveyed.
