Tokyo, Oct. 31 (Jiji Press)–Yoshihiko Noda, head of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, said Friday that Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi may dissolve the House of Representatives, the all-important lower chamber of the Diet, for a snap election on the back of her cabinet’s high approval ratings in recent media polls. “It’s quite possible (for Takaichi) to feel a rush,” Noda said at a press conference. Noda warned that a snap election “could create a political vacuum again, leaving matters related to our daily lives undecided.” “How the country’s leader would consider this is an important point,” he added.
