Soka Gakkai party seen as 'totalitarian' Blasting his party as "totalitarian," New Komeito senior Diet member Junichi Fukumoto announced June 15 he will leave the junior partner of the ruling bloc and may run as an opposition candidate in the July Upper House election since his party won't put him on the ticket. Speaking at a news conference, the 58-year-old vice secretary general of New Komeito said he could no longer go along with his party's policymaking practices. New Komeito is solidly backed by Soka Gakkai, the nation's largest lay Buddhist organization.
