PNP sacks party head, policy chief

TOKYO, Japan - Akiko Kamei, a House of Councillors member from the People's New Party, holds a press conference in Tokyo on the evening of April 5, 2012, after she was dismissed from the post of the party's policy chief. The junior coalition partner of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan decided the same day to dismiss its chief Shizuka Kamei and policy chief Kamei. The decision comes after the two asserted the PNP should leave the ruling coalition due to their opposition to Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda's key policy goal of a sales tax hike. (Kyodo)
