Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi said Saturday his Liberal Democratic Party may put postal rebel Eita Yashiro on the party's roster for the Tokyo proportional representation block in the Sept. 11 election.

If Yashiro is given an LDP endorsement, he would be the only exception in Koizumi's strategy of not endorsing the 37 Lower House lawmakers from the party who voted against postal privatization.

"The party's headquarters is currently discussing the issue, and I will make a decision after hearing the conclusion of the discussion," Koizumi said in Kofu, Yamanashi Prefecture.
