The people are questioning if the DPJ is really serious about taking the helm of government. (I'll) first gather the party's opinions together and let important issues be argued out in the Diet. That's my fighting stance.
While having policy debate, we need to hold the race in a way to attract people toward the DPJ.
I am sorry I couldn't complete my term as leader. It is necessary for my staff to resign ... to regain the people's trust.
