Ruling and opposition parties agreed Monday to hold the first debate between Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and opposition party leaders during the ongoing session of parliament on May 20.

Opposition parties with 10 or more seats in either the House of Representatives or the House of Councilors are eligible to participate.

The criteria will allow a record six opposition parties to take part in the debate: the Democratic Party for the People, the Centrist Reform Alliance, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, Sanseito, Komeito and Team Mirai. Following its strong showing in February's general election for the Lower House, Team Mirai will join such a parliamentary debate for the first time.
