Takeyama elected head of LDP upper house group
TOKYO, Japan - Yutaka Takeyama speaks after being elected leader of the assembly of House of Councillors members from the Liberal Democratic Party on Jan. 23. He succeeds Masakuni Murakami who quit last week over his ties with scandal-hit organization KSD. Takeyama, 67, who formerly headed the Science and Technology Agency, will lead the LDP delegation in the 252-seat upper chamber where the ruling party has 106 seats, short of a majority.
