The Democratic Party of Japan may review its strategy for the upcoming Upper House election to ensure it can secure one seat in each district, rather than risking the loss of many seats by fielding multiple candidates, a DPJ lawmaker said Monday.
Jun Azumi, tapped as the DPJ's campaign planning chief, said on TV he will consult with new DPJ President and Prime Minister Naoto Kan about whether the party will stick with its plan to field multiple candidates in districts with more than one seat at stake.
