The Centrist Reform Alliance (CRA) and the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) are facing pressure to delay the merger talks with the opposition Komeito party, according to reports from Jiji Press. The deadline for concluding negotiations on the integration of the three parties has been set for the end of this month. However, some CRA members and CDP lawmakers are advocating for a pushback on this deadline.
