Tokyo (B2B) - Perdana Menteri (PM) Jepang Yoshihiko Noda membubarkan Majelis Rendah untuk pemilihan bulan depan, dalam spekulasi politik secara luas diharapkan untuk mengupas pusat kekuatan partai kirinya.
Perdana Menteri keenam Jepang selama bertahun-tahun mengatur bergulirnya pertahanan pintu perlawanan pemerintah dari perpecahan partainya.
"Saya ingin mencari mandat dari rakyat," kata PM Noda kepada media saat dia tiba di kantor Perdana Menteri menjelang rapat kabinet, seperti dikutip ChannelNewsAsia.
Pertemuan luar biasa kabinet diperkirakan akan diadakan Jumat, 16 Desember, dan secara resmi akan mengumumkan hari pemilihan umum.
Noda berada di bawah tekanan dalam menyelenggarakan pemilihan umum selama berbulan-bulan dan menawarkan keputusan pembubaran parlemen awal pekan ini.

Tokyo - Japan´s Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda dissolved the lower house of parliament Friday for an election next month, in a political gamble widely expected to strip his centre-left party of power.
Japan´s sixth new prime minister in as many years set the revolving door of premiership spinning against resistance from his fragmenting party.
"I want to seek a mandate from the people," Noda told reporters in the morning as he arrived for a cabinet meeting.
An extraordinary meeting of the cabinet held later on Friday reportedly endorsed December 16 as election day.
Noda has been under pressure to call elections for months and offered dissolution of the main decision-making chamber in a parliamentary debate earlier this week.
