2026年10月21日，日本创新党的中冢宏（Hiroshi Nakatsuka）在东京的一次内阁会议上向首相高市早苗致意。
自首相高市早苗与日本创新党（JIP）匆忙组建联合政府以来，这一最初出于政治需要的联盟在取得了一些议会胜利后，正在逐渐发展成更为紧密的关系。

然而，仍有争议性立法尚未通过，且并非自民党内的所有人都支持与日本创新党的长期合作——该党也被称为‘日本革新会’（Nippon Ishin no Kai）。尽管短期内分手的可能性不大，但联盟的未来仍充满不确定性。

去年10月当选自民党总裁后，高市早苗面临的首次危机是公明党（自民党自1999年以来的联盟伙伴）宣布退出，原因是公明党无法支持她保守、强硬的政策立场。
After being elected LDP president last October, Takaichi faced her first crisis when Komeito, the LDP’s coalition partner since 1999, announced it was departing because it could not support her conservative, hawkish policy approach.
