Prime Minister Takaichi urged ruling party officials on Monday to ensure all government-proposed bills pass before the Diet session ends on July 17 [1].

This push for legislative completion is critical for the administration to realize its core policy goals and maintain political momentum. Failure to pass these measures before the deadline would likely delay key structural reforms and weaken the government's standing with the public.

During a meeting of the government-ruling party liaison committee, Takaichi said the imperial household amendment and the secondary capital bill are important. She asked for the ruling party's unity to ensure these measures are finalized within the current term [1].

Regarding the secondary capital bill, Takaichi said she highly evaluates the concept of a secondary capital [3]. However, she also said she seeks partial revisions to the current draft of the bill [4].

"For the passage of all government-submitted bills within the session, I ask for your cooperation once again," Takaichi said [2]. "Regarding the secondary capital bill in the member-submitted legislation, let us aim for its passage during the session as a united ruling party" [2].

The Prime Minister is scheduled to attend Diet deliberations for three consecutive days from July 15 to July 17 [1]. This final stretch of the session serves as the last opportunity for the administration to secure legal authority for its current agenda before the legislative window closes [1].

“"For the passage of all government-submitted bills within the session, I ask for your cooperation once again."”

The administration's insistence on passing all bills by July 17 indicates a desire to avoid the political instability of carrying over contentious issues into the next session. By prioritizing both imperial household amendments and the secondary capital plan, the government is attempting to balance traditional institutional stability with modern urban decentralization strategies.
