The Unity Party (結いの党, Yui no Tō) was a Japanese political party.
The party was formed in December 2013 by Kenji Eda and 13 other legislators who left Your Party. [1] Your Party initially refused to acknowledge that six councillors had left its caucus in the House of Councillors, but filed a notice in February 2014 which acknowledged their departure from Your Party, allowing the Unity Party to have formal representation in the upper house. [2]
The party supported Morihiro Hosokawa in the 2014 Tokyo gubernatorial election. [3]
Eda had discussions with the Japan Restoration Party in early 2014 with a view toward coordinating the two parties' policy stances. JRP co-head Shintaro Ishihara rejected the idea of coordinating with the Unity Party on the basis of their support for the Constitution of Japan, while the other JRP co-head Toru Hashimoto saw room for agreement on the scope of necessary revisions to the Constitution. [4]
On 21 September 2014, the Unity Party and the Japan Restoration Party merged to form the Japan Innovation Party. [5]
