Opposition CDP Sweeps Sunday's Lower House By-Elections

   Tokyo, April 28 (Jiji Press)--The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan is certain to win all three by-elections for the House of Representatives on Sunday.
   The by-elections are the first national elections held after the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's "slush fund" scandal came to light.
   The LDP fielded its own candidate only in the Shimane No. 1 constituency, while refraining from doing so in the Tokyo No. 15 and Nagasaki No. 3 constituencies amid strong public criticism over the scandal.
