野田元首相、小沢氏に代表選出馬を報告 小沢氏は来週に態度決定
野田佳彦元首相(67)は30日、国会内で小沢一郎衆院議員(82)と会談し、立憲民主党代表選(9月7日告示、23日投開票)への立候補表明を報告した。小沢氏は来週、自身が率いる党内グループ「一清会」の会合を開き、代表選への対応を決めると応じた。
代表選をめぐり、野田、小沢両氏は7月に2回会食し、意見交換を続けている。関係者によると、野田氏はこの日、「ご指導、よろしくお願いします」と伝えたという。小沢氏は、野田氏が29日に千葉県習志野市のJR津田沼駅前で出馬表明したことについて、「駅頭での表明で、びっくりした」と感想を語ったという。
小沢氏はこれまで、野田氏のほかに、枝野幸男前代表(60)や馬淵澄夫元国土交通相(64)、江田憲司元代表代行(68)らとも会談。泉健太代表(50)以外の候補者の中から推す人を決めるとしている。(松井望美(まなみ))
