Centrist Reform Alliance

Uncommon card · No. 97406

The Centrist Reform Alliance (Japanese: 中道改革連合, Hepburn: Chūdō Kaikaku Rengō), abbreviated as Chūdō or CRA, is a centrist moderate political party in Japan. It was the main opposition party in the House of Representatives from February to September 2026, holding 49 seats. The CRA was formed in January 2026 by the merger of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) and Komeito in the House of Representatives to challenge the Liberal Democratic Party. It competed in the 2026 general election, where it lost a significant number of seats, with its seat number being reduced from 167 to 49. The CDP and Komeito continued to caucus separately in the House of Councillors and in local elections. After the merger between the parties fell through, the CRA effectively disbanded, with Sō Watanabe remaining for administrative reasons.
