Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is in the process of determining severe disciplinary actions for four of its senior members implicated in a political funds scandal. Toshimitsu Motegi, the secretary-general of the LDP, has expressed a commitment to imposing strict punishments on those found responsible. The scandal has notably affected factions within the LDP, including the Abe faction, named after former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has managed to avoid censure in this situation and will personally interview the four former executives of the Abe faction involved in the scandal. Among the potential penalties being considered is non-endorsement in future elections.
