Aug. 30 general election 'unconstitutional': Osaka High Court

OSAKA, Japan - Lawyers for a plaintiff seeking nullification of the Aug. 30 general election returns in the Osaka No. 9 constituency speak at a news conference in Osaka on Dec. 28 after the Osaka High Court ruled that the election was ''unconstitutional,'' given that the disparity in the value of a vote reached a maximum 2.30. The court, however, rejected the claim that the election returns in the constituency should be nullified. (Kyodo)
