There is a dispute between Takashi Tachibana and Ayaka Otsu over the right to represent the former NHK Party (currently 48 Politicians Women’s Party). Political journalist Hiroshi Samejima said, “The reality of the scramble for the position of party leader is a battle for political party subsidies worth more than 300 million yen a year. Isn’t it?”

The former NHK party’s mud fight over political party subsidies of over 300 million yen
It was an event that I wanted to close my eyes to as it was, but finally I received a writing request from the editor. It is a mud fight over the leadership of the “NHK Party”, which has been changed to “48 Politician Women’s Party”.
On March 8, Takashi Tachibana announced his resignation over the issue of former NHK Party member Gersey, who had been elected as proportional representation in the House of Councilors election in the summer of last year, and was expelled for never appearing in the Diet. In addition to changing the name of the political party to the “48 Party for Politicians Women,” the party suddenly announced that it would hand over the leadership of the party to Ayaka Otsu, a 30-year-old woman who is unknown in the political world.
Otsu, who has no political experience, found out regarding the recruitment of candidates for the 48th Party for Women’s Politicians on YouTube in January of this year, and applied for it. Few people in the political world knew her name.
However, she had a remarkable career. In her childhood, she acted as a child actress, and she appeared as Akira Ikegami’s daughter in NHK’s “Weekly Children’s News”, which had an influence on public opinion formation.
After retiring from NHK, Tachibana made headlines on the Internet with performances that caused a stir one following another, beginning with the non-payment campaign, and even created a national political party. It is not hard to imagine that Mr. Otsu’s career seemed to shine in the eyes of him, who never stopped and changed stories and continued media exposure.

The two of them sat side by side at the press conference to announce the replacement of the leader of the party. Within a month, Mr. Tachibana “expelled” Mr. Otsu and declared himself to be the leader of the party. Neither of them expected that it would develop into an internal conflict.
