Dhaka, July 30 -- Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party decided Tuesday to hold a plenary meeting of its parliamentary members soon, as Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba insists on remaining in office despite calls from among his party to step down following a devastating national election loss.
The joint plenary meeting of members of both houses of the Diet is one of the LDP's decision-making bodies.
A similar gathering was held on Monday in a less formal setting where many members called on Ishiba, the LDP president, to step down.
