立民新執行部が発足　泉代表「国民のため働く」

　立憲民主党は２日、国会内で両院議員総会を開いた。西村智奈美幹事長（５４）ら党執行部人事を承認し、新執行部が発足した。泉健太代表は先の代表選で戦った西村氏ら３人を要職に配置するなど挙党一致の体制を構築。来夏の参院選に向け、低迷する党勢の立て直しに全力を挙げる。
　泉代表は両院総会であいさつし、「国民のために働く。政策立案をしっかり行い、政治や行政の不正をただす。この姿勢を明確に持って皆さまとともに歩ませていただきたい」と述べ、党再生へ決意を示した。
　新たに就任したのは、西村氏のほか、逢坂誠二代表代行（６２）、小川淳也政調会長（５０）、馬淵澄夫国対委員長（６１）、大西健介選対委員長（５０）。西村氏は記者会見で「泉代表をしっかりと支え、（党の）新しい姿を皆さんに届けたい」と強調した。
　半数を女性とするとした約１０人の党執行役員について、泉氏は会見で「調整している」と説明。残りの人事は臨時国会が召集される６日までに決定する方針だ。（2021/12/02-16:32）

The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan launched its new leadership team under recently elected party head Kenta Izumi on Thursday.
   "We'll work for the people. We'll draw up solid policy measures and correct wrong things about politics and government," Izumi told a plenary meeting of the party's lawmakers in both chambers of the Diet, the country's parliament, at which the executive appointments were approved.
   "With this attitude, we'll proceed with you," Izumi, 47, said, underscoring his determination to reinvigorate the party ahead of next summer's election for the House of Councillors, the upper chamber.
   For key posts, Izumi picked the other three candidates in Tuesday's leadership election--former State Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare Chinami Nishimura, Seiji Osaka, former special adviser to the prime minister, and former Parliamentary Vice Minister for Internal Affairs and Communications Junya Ogawa.
   Nishimura, 54, became secretary-general and Osaka, 62, executive deputy leader. The post of Policy Research Council chair was given to Ogawa, 50.
