Will Japan PM Kan lose the no-confidence vote this afternoon?

Question:

If so, will there be another election in Japan? Or can Ozawa or Sadakazu Tanigaki get enough members to support them for PM and give them confidence in the house?

Answer:

>Will Japan PM Kan lose the no-confidence vote this afternoon?

You have to see the result. No one knows now.

>will there be another election in Japan?

It depends on whether Kan will dissolve Diet after no-confidence was approved. Kan says he will dissolve it if it's approved.

>Or can Ozawa or Sadakazu Tanigaki get enough members to support them for PM and give them confidence in the house?

As I said, there will likely to be an election if no-confidence is approved. If LDP wins the next election, Tanigaki will be PM. I don't think Ozawa will be PM in any case because he does not have his own party.

The leader of ruling party becomes PM in Japan.

Addition:
No-confidence was rejected.
