DescriptionThe New Frontier Party (Shinshinto) was formed in December 1994 by a merger of the Japan Renewal Party, Komeito (Clean Government Party), Japan New Party, the Democratic Socialist Party, and other parties (excluding the Japanese Communist Party) outside the three-party ruling coalition of the LDP, SDP, and Sakigake. In the July 1995 upper house election the NFP gained 40 seats for a total of 56. Together with its 170 seats in the lower house, this made the NFP the second most powerful party after the LDP in both chambers. Former LDP Secretary General Ichiro Ozawa assumed leadership of the party in December 1995. It is described as a conservative reform party in ideology.
