落選の小沢一郎氏　新党結成に含み「方法論の一つ」　党分断に警戒の声も【知っておきたい！】【グッド！モーニング】(2026年5月11日)

Former House of Representatives member Ichiro Ozawa (83), who ran unsuccessfully in the House of Representatives election as a candidate for the Centrist Reform Alliance, criticized the centrist party, stating that it "cannot be" a viable alternative to a change of government. Former House of Representatives member Ozawa: "How to reorganize the opposition parties and unite to fight the election again is a truly serious concern. If neither the centrist nor the Constitutional Democratic Party can do anything, everyone might think that we have no choice but to create a new group." Ozawa opened an office for his group and appealed to those who lost in the House of Representatives election, saying, "If you lose, you lose your foothold in Tokyo. I want anyone to use this as a base." He also spoke of forming a new party as "one methodology." Within the centrist party, there are concerns that this "might lead to the division of the party."
