DPJ postpones leadership election

TOKYO, Japan - A general meeting of Democratic Party of Japan lawmakers is held at the party's headquarters in Tokyo on Dec. 19, 2012. At the meeting, the DPJ dropped its plan to hold a party presidential election on Dec. 22 as many DPJ lawmakers said it was premature to pick a new leader only a week after the party's crushing defeat in the general election.
