Komeito
, formerly called New Komeito (abbreviated NKP) is a political party in Japan founded by members of the Nichiren Buddhist-based new religious movement Soka Gakkai.〔Matsutani, Minoru, "(Soka Gakkai keeps religious, political machine humming )", ''The Japan Times'', 2 December 2008, p. 3〕
''New Komeito'' (the party's former name) was formed as a result of a merger between Komeito (1964-1998) and the New Peace Party on November 7, 1998. The three ''kanji'' characters 公明党 have the approximate meanings of "public/government" (公 kō), "light/brightness" (明 mei), and "political party" (党 tō). The combination "kōmei" (公明) is usually taken to mean "justice" or "fairness". The word "New" was not part of the Japanese name, but was used in English to distinguish the party from its predecessor. In September 2014 the party changed its English name from New Komeito back to Komeito.〔(New Komeito changes name back to Komeito )〕
After the 2012 general election, the party held 31 seats in the lower house and 19 seats in the upper house.
==Platform==
Komeito's declared mission is to pioneer "people-centered politics, a politics based on a humanitarianism that treats human life with the utmost respect and care".〔(New Komeito, 2002)〕 Domestically, the party proposals include reduction of the central government and bureaucracy, increased transparency in public affairs, and increased local (prefectural) autonomy with the private sector playing an increased role. With regard to foreign policy, the Komeito wishes to eliminate nuclear arms and armed conflict in general. However, in July 2015, Komeito backed prime minister's Shinzo Abe push for expanded military powers.〔(NYT, 2015 )〕 Most NKP politicians and core supporters are Soka Gakkai members, Komeito platform scarcely remarks on religious issues.
