Resignation of Hatoyama Cabinet en Block and Election of New Prime Minister Naoto Kan
The Hatoyama cabinet resigned en block on June 4. At the election of the president of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) on the same day, Mr. Naoto Kan, a member of the House of Representatives of the DPJ who strongly appealed that he would rebuild this country as prime minister was elected as new president of the DPJ. Thereafter at the plenary sessions of both the House of Representatives and the House of Councilors, nomination of prime minister was made and the new president of the DPJ was elected as the 94th Prime Minister of Japan. RENGO hopes that the new government will sincerely respond to severe voices of the people on such issues as “politics and money” and the relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps Futemma Air Station, Okinawa and will display concerted leadership of the parties in government in order to regain people's trust in politics.
