A day after his re-election as president of the Democratic Party of Japan, Prime Minister Naoto Kan got busy Wednesday choosing new lineups for his Cabinet and the DPJ leadership.
Attention is focused on whether Kan will grant his sole opponent in Tuesday's election, Ichiro Ozawa, or any of the power broker's allies important government or party posts.
As early as Wednesday night, Kan was trying to decide the new DPJ executive lineup, party sources said, adding he hopes to reshuffle his Cabinet on Friday.
