LDP Disciplines Members in Political Funds Scandal

Japan's ruling party takes action against 39 members, including two senior figures, in a bid to address a significant political funds scandal.

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) disciplines 39 members over a political funds scandal, with two senior figures advised to leave.
The scandal, involving unreported revenue from fundraising events, has been a significant issue for the LDP, affecting its public image.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, also LDP leader, aims to move past the scandal before his upcoming US visit and parliamentary by-elections.
The disciplinary actions are the LDP's most severe since 2005, reflecting the party's effort to address internal corruption.
Opposition parties demand further scrutiny, suggesting the LDP's internal probe did not fully uncover the scandal's extent.
