Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan is to face a no-confidence vote in parliament with many members of his own party signaling they will vote to remove him from office. According to Asahi newspaper, more than 50 members of Mr. Kan's Democratic Party of Japan(DPJ) support the no-confidence motion, which is expected to come up for a vote on Wednesday. The dissident lawmakers are unhappy over the prime minister's handling of the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, which crippled the Fukushima nuclear power plant and caused havoc in Japan's manufacturing sector.The rebellious DPJ members are allied with former party leader Ichiro Ozawa, who is facing charges of violating campaign fundraising laws. The DPJ and its coalition partners hold more than 300 seats in the 480-member lower house.
