Fukuda Tatsuo, son of former Prime Minister Fukuda Yasuo & grandson of Seiwakai founder Fukuda Takeo, indicated that he will seek the dissolution of the Abe faction created by his grandfather.
Fukuda Tatsuo will probably lead charges by the mid-level and junior lawmakers today in the Abe faction general meeting seeking the dissolution of the faction. Its options were narrowed down yesterday after the PM’s announcement.
So it seems Fukuda Tatsuo wasn’t just leading the charge for disbanding the Abe faction by speaking out at the meeting later tonight. He & around 20 Abe faction members submitted a resolution to faction chief Shionoya calling for disbandment.
