A revision of the law on the handling of political funds is set to clear the Lower House in a vote Tuesday following one more committee session.
Ruling and opposition parties on Monday morning agreed to hold the vote on the revisions on Tuesday.

Prime Minister Fumio Kishida will take part in questioning at the political funds committee session, a condition the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) placed on agreeing to an early vote.
