<h2> The party may nominate Yuichiro Tamaki as prime minister.</h2>
 The &#8220;LDP&#8221; government of Shigeru Ishiba has been losing support due to the commodity coupon issue. Under such circumstances, there is a possibility that the opposition parties will rally around Yuichiro Tamaki, 55, the leader of the People&#8217;s Democratic Party of Japan, and try to create a &#8220;Prime Minister Tamaki.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 On March 23, Junya Ogawa, 53, secretary general of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), appeared on a Fuji Television program and said that since the opposition parties currently hold a majority with a minority ruling party, if they were to submit a no-confidence motion in the Cabinet, &#8220;we would have to assume that it would be passed.
 As long as it is submitted, it must be passed. What are the prospects for a dissolution of the House of Representatives, a general election, the resignation of the Cabinet, and the subsequent nomination of a prime minister?
 He also discussed his thoughts on such matters as the following.
 If the opposition parties become united,
 &#8220;The leader of the first opposition party is the most likely candidate.
 He also said that he would nominate Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the KDP, which has the highest approval rating of any opposition party, as prime minister.
 We cannot rule out all possibilities,&#8221; he said.
 He also hinted at the possibility of nominating Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the opposition National Democratic Party of Japan, as prime minister.

 The KDP&#8217;s pledge to &#8220;increase income&#8221; has quickly gained support among the public, and according to a number of polls conducted by various newspapers, the KDP is now ranked second only to the LDP, which is ranked first among the parties that the public would like to vote for in the summer Upper House election. Among younger voters, the KDP is in first place.
 However, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Restoration Association have teamed up in the budget deliberations of the current Diet session, and the people of Japan have been neglected.
 In the midst of this situation, a dangerous &#8220;bomb&#8221; is still in the air for Tamaki&#8217;s aspirations to become prime minister.

<h2>He has long denied having a relationship or staying overnight.</h2>
 Speaking of Representative Tamaki, he was removed from his position as representative due to a report in &#8220;Smart FLASH&#8221; last November of an affair with former gradol and Takamatsu Tourism Ambassador Miyuki Koizumi (39), and only recently returned to the position in March. As if to coincide with this timing, Koizumi resumed his activities by restoring his social networking service, which he had deleted entirely in March, under a new account.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 On X and Instagram, he wrote in his own handwriting
 &#8220;All the reports are not based on facts.
 and that he is considering legal action. Furthermore, on the top page of X
 &#8220;As announced by Takamatsu City, the ambassador has not been removed from his position.
 《From Flash&#8217;s initial report, both dating and lodging have long been denied. I would like to ask for a correction to the misinformation, so please cooperate.
 The ambassador also appears to be denying the affair report itself.
 The day after the report, Mr. Tamaki admitted at a press conference that the reports of the affair and the overnight stay were &#8220;generally true. However, Mr. Koizumi denied having had an affair or staying over. She insisted on her innocence and resumed her social networking site. Whenever she gets more and more exposure, many people are reminded of Tamaki&#8217;s affair report.
<div data-friday-ad-slot="AD_inArticle"></div>
 Koizumi has been openly interacting with her fans by replying to their messages on the reopened SNS. She uploads close-ups of her face and well-proportioned photos showing her body line, and promotes udon noodles and other dishes as if she were a tourism ambassador.
 Koizumi has appealed to the media for his innocence, but he has also told the X media
 Koizumi has shut himself off from the media, saying, &#8220;I don&#8217;t do interviews or respond to DMs.
 Koizumi has shut out the media. Why doesn&#8217;t he go into detail to clear up misunderstandings in the media?
 If the LDP suffers a crushing defeat in the Upper House election and the LDP and the public lose their majority, a change of government will naturally become possible. The opposition parties are eagerly awaiting that moment. If that happens, &#8220;Prime Minister Tamaki&#8221; will suddenly become a reality. If the affair is rehashed again at such an important time when he is aiming for the top position that would unite the opposition parties, it would be a blow to his chances. Mr. Tamaki must be very concerned about what Mr. Koizumi will say and do in the future.
 We then asked the office of KDP Representative Tamaki, &#8220;Are you aware that Mr. Koizumi has resumed social networking?&#8221; &#8220;What do you think about Koizumi&#8217;s complete denial of the affair report, which is the exact opposite of Tamaki&#8217;s?&#8221; We faxed and e-mailed the office, but received no response by the deadline.
 Will he be able to overcome his troubles with women and make it to the birth of Prime Minister Tamaki?

 The Ishiba Cabinet has seen its approval rating plummet due to the "commodity coupon issue. If the ruling party loses its majority not only in the House of Representatives but also in the House of Councillors, a change of government will become a reality. Under such circumstances, popular National Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) leader Tamaki...
