The Democratic Party for the People (DPP), an opposition party launched on Sept. 15 five years ago, aims to take a leading role in the country’s evolving political landscape following its impressive advances in recent parliamentary elections.
The party’s basic strategy is to leave open the possibility of joining the ruling coalition but without easily making concessions.
“The first step is to determine what can be done for each policy,” DPP leader Yuichiro Tamaki said on television on Friday, referring to the party’s approach to the ruling coalition.
