Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of Japan's Democratic Party for the People (DPP), has been suspended from his leadership role for three months following a scandal involving an extramarital affair. The decision was made unanimously during a party meeting, citing damage to the party's reputation and trust. Tamaki acknowledged the allegations and accepted the suspension, stating he would focus on rebuilding trust, contributing as a regular party member, and working towards the party's expansion during the suspension period, which lasts until March 3, 2025. He also issued a public apology for his actions. During this time, Motohisa Furukawa will serve as acting leader. The suspension is considered an unprecedented and severe disciplinary action within the party.
