Facing trouble coming up with the funds to cover key campaign promises, the Democratic Party of Japan will revise its policy pledges ahead of next month's Upper House election, a senior DPJ lawmaker said Tuesday.
"It is important to flexibly review" the platform for last year's election, Koichiro Genba, state minister for civil service reform who doubles as DPJ policy chief, said at a Diet session, vowing the party will go into the July 11 election with a new manifesto.
