Democratic Party of Japan

The Democratic Party of Japan (民主党) was a centrist party formed to oppose the LDP. There were in fact two DPJs: one formed in 1996 out of Sakigake and JSP officials that opposed coalition with the LDP, and one formed in 1998 as a merger of the aforementioned DPJ and splinters of the failing New Frontier Party.

It merged with the Japan Innovation Party in March 2016 to form the short-lived Democratic Party.
