TOKYO (Reuters) – Yuichiro Tamaki, the head of the Japanese opposition party that has emerged as kingmaker as lawmakers select the next prime minister on Monday, said a tabloid report about his extra-marital affair was “basically true”.
“I apologise for the trouble caused,” the head of the Democratic Party for the People (DPP) told reporters at a hastily called news conference after tabloid SmartFlash reported the affair on Monday.
“The facts reported this morning are basically true.”
