The Japan Farmers Party ( Japanese: æ—„æœŹèŸČæ°‘ć…š, Nihon Nƍmintƍ) was a political party in Japan.

History

The party was established by Katsutarƍ Kita and four independent members of the House of Representatives on 25 February 1947. Kita had previously formed the Japan Cooperative Party in August 1946. [1] [2] However, three of them, including Kita, were removed from the House of Representatives shortly afterwards as part of the post-war purge. [2]

In the 1947 general elections the party won four seats, and a further four representatives joined the party after the elections. [2] After talks about a merger with the National Cooperative Party failed due to the opposition of Nakano Shirƍ, the chairman of the party's central committee, the party considered renaming itself the New Farmers Party. [2]

The 1949 general elections saw the party reduced to a single seat and it was disbanded thereafter, and effectively replaced by the New Farmers Party. [2]
