Japan's Komeito party considers joining a new political alliance
日本公明黨考慮加入新的政治聯盟
In a major political shift for Japan, the Komeito party has embarked on a new path after ending its 26-year partnership with the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in late 2025.
對於日本政壇而言，公明黨在2025年底結束了與自由民主黨（自民黨）長達26年的合作關係，踏上了一條新的道路。
This historic split was sparked by the LDP's struggles with transparency and funding scandals.
這場歷史性的分裂，是由於自民黨在透明度以及政治獻金醜聞上的掙扎（ㄓㄥˊㄓㄚˊ）所引發的。
Seeking a fresh start, Komeito joined forces with the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) in early 2026 to form the Centrist Reform Alliance (CRA).
公明黨為了尋求嶄新的開始，於2026年初與立憲民主黨聯手，組成了「中間改革聯盟」（CRA）。
Under the leadership of Toshiko Takeya, Komeito is now exploring a full merger with the CRA to create a unified political force.
在竹谷敏子的領導下，公明黨目前正探討與中間改革聯盟進行全面合併，以創建一個統一的政治力量。
By moving from a conservative coalition to a center-left alliance, Komeito has repositioned itself as a key moderating influence in the Japanese legislature.
透過從保守派聯盟轉向中間偏左的結盟，公明黨已將自身重新定位為日本國會中關鍵的溫和影響力。
