Exclusive Insights into Sampo Party's Future Plans
On November 20, 2025, at 6:30 PM JST, Niconico will host an exclusive live interview with Muneyuki Kamiya, the leader of the Sampo Party, ahead of the next national elections. This interview will delve into the party’s strategies and political ambitions, particularly under the “Japan First” banner.
Founded in 2020, the Sampo Party has gained significant momentum since Kamiya's election to the House of Councillors in 2022. With an astounding victory in the 2024 House of Representatives election, where they secured three seats, and an impressive 14 seats in this summer’s House of Councillors election, the party is clearly on the rise. Recently, they have also achieved major victories in local elections, such as in the Ise City Council elections held on October 26 and the Katsushika Ward elections on November 9.
The interview will address various topics, such as proposals to abolish or decrease consumption tax, counter-espionage laws, restrictions on accepting foreign nationals, and the reduction of the number of legislators. Kamiya will also outline the similarities and differences between Sampo Party’s agenda and the recent policies under the Takichi administration. Moreover, he will discuss the direction of the Trump administration, which faced setbacks in local elections on November 4, and the implications of the US midterm elections for Japan.
The audience will have the unique opportunity to submit questions in advance, ensuring that the discussion remains engaging and tailored to their interests. This segment will allow for an in-depth look into Kamiya's strategies and concerns for the forthcoming national elections, where their push for “Japan First” will play a crucial role.
