(L to R) Yorihisa Matsuno former leader of the Japan Innovation Party and Katsuya Okada leader of the new Democratic Party attend the launch of the opposition party on March 27, 2016 in Tokyo, Japan. The new party was created by the merger of the main opposition party, the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) and the smaller Japan Innovation Party. It will immediately become the largest opposition party with 156 sitting lawmakers since the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) returned to power in December 2012. The new party hopes to provide a strong challenge to Prime Minister Abe's LDP in the House of Councillors elections in the summer. (Photo by Rodrigo Reyes Marin/AFLO)
