       TOKYO -- Yukio Edano, leader of the largest opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP), will reveal his intentions for the party's future by Nov. 2, he told reporters following the CDP's lackluster performance in the Oct. 31 general election.

       "I will express my thinking on what is to come next by Nov. 2," Edano said. The CDP dropped from 110 to 96 seats in the Oct. 31 House of Representatives poll. The party will hold an executive meeting on Nov. 2 to discuss its response to the results.

       Edano and CDP Secretary-General Tetsuro Fukuyama also visited the Tokyo headquarters of the Japanese Trade Union Confederation (Rengo) to speak with the labor lobby's top executives on Nov. 1.
