TOKYO (AP) - Japan's largest opposition party decided Tuesday to reject the government's second nomination of a former finance ministry executive to head the central bank.
The Democratic Party of Japan said in a statement on its Web site that it is set to reject Koji Tanami, now governor of Japan Bank for International Cooperation, in a parliamentary vote Wednesday — the same day the current Bank of Japan governor's term ends.
The decision makes it inevitable that the central bank will at least briefly lack a top leader for the first time since World War II.
