The Liberal Democratic Party's goal for the next House of Representatives election is to secure a single-party majority, LDP Secretary General Shinzo Abe said Wednesday.
The remark by Abe, appointed the LDP's No. 2 man Sunday, indicates that the party's new executive lineup will bear responsibility if it fails to achieve this goal.
In fact, this target, unveiled during an interview with several media organizations, is rather conservative, given that the LDP already holds 244 of the 480 seats in the House of Representatives.
