小泉氏は総裁選撤退を　維新・前原氏、「やらせ」巡り

日本維新の会の前原誠司前共同代表、８月５日、国会内自民党総裁選で小泉進次郎農林水産相の陣営が同氏側に好意的なコメントの投稿を依頼していた問題に関し、日本維新の会の前原誠司前共同代表は２９日、小泉氏は立候補を取り下げるべきだとの認識を示した。 Seiji Maehara, former co-leader of Nippon Ishin no Kai , suggested Monday that agriculture minister Shinjiro Koizumi should withdraw his candidacy for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's leadership race after a campaign member was found to have asked supporters to post favorable comments about him online.
