The Party to Protect the People from NHK (parliamentary group)

was a parliamentary group of the National Diet of Japan from 2023 to 2025. At its peak, it consisted of two independent members of the House of Councillors.

History

The group was formed on August 10, 2023, by councillors Satoshi Hamada and Kenichiro Saito, who formerly belonged to the political party with the same name. Due to an ongoing leadership dispute between former and de facto leader Takashi Tachibana and the incumbent de jure leader Ayaka Otsu, the Otsu wing of the party expelled the both of them from the party for aligning themselves with Tachibana. As a result, they formed a parliamentary group to continue their activities as "members" of the party.

Hamada lost his seat in the 2025 Japanese House of Councillors election, leaving Saito as the group's only councillor. Saito left the group in November 2025.
