A dispute within the NHK Party, a political party in Japan, began on April 7, 2023 when former party leader Takashi Tachibana, who earlier resigned in favor of the current leader Ayaka Otsu the previous month announced in a press conference that he was re-assuming the leadership without prior knowledge of Otsu, which led to her denying the change of leadership, leading to the creation of two opposing factions within the party.[1][2][3] The dispute has led to the disintegration of the party. Losing all of their local assembly and National Diet seats, the party lost their status as an official national party recognized by the Government of Japan on January 2024,[4] and the party soon declared bankruptcy on March 2024.[5][6]
As of May 2024, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications recognizes the Otsu faction as the legitimate members of the party.[7][8]
