Kyodo News reported on November 10 that two of the four senior Liberal Democratic Party lawmakers given formal warnings, Yuko Obuchi and Yoshihisa Furukawa, stepped down the same day as vice chairs of the LDP's Research Commission on the Tax System.
The four were reprimanded for walking out before the House of Representatives vote on the food consumption-tax cut bill. Former Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was among them, the first time a former party president had received such a warning. GSM reported the reprimand decision on November 9.
