PNP sacks party head, policy chief

TOKYO, Japan - Mikio Shimoji (L), secretary general of the People's New Party, and Financial Services Minister Shozaburo Jimi (C), the sole Cabinet minister from the PNP, hold a press conference at the party's headquarters in Tokyo on the evening of April 5, 2012, after the party's decision to dismiss its chief Shizuka Kamei and policy chief Akiko Kamei.
