Japanese PM dismisses possibility of immediate dissolution of lower house
6/10/2008 16:42
Japanese Prime Minister Taro Aso today ruled out the possibility of
dissolving the lower house straight away.
At a budget committee of the lower
house, Aso said he is not mulling over the dissolution of House of the
Representatives at the moment as the largest public concern is Japan's economic
outlook.
It is imperative to let the fiscal 2008 supplementary budget pass at
the Diet, he added.
The term of the lower house is to expire in September
2009 and it is widely expected that a general election will take place later
than November 2 this year.
