The parliamentary affairs chiefs of Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party and the main opposition Centrist Reform Alliance have agreed on a schedule to debate the government’s draft fiscal 2026 supplementary budget.
At a meeting on Friday, Hiroshi Kajiyama of the LDP and Kazuhiko Shigetoku of the CRA confirmed that the budget committees of both the upper and lower houses will each spend one day deliberating the extra budget for the fiscal year that started in April.
The Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, the largest opposition party in the Upper House, protested to the LDP and the CRA, complaining that the debate schedule for the upper chamber was decided by the Lower House side.
Both Kajiyama and Shigetoku are Lower House members.
