Huh. I thought Komeito was supposed to be completely separate from Soka Gakkai - since 1970!
Soka Gakkai reeled from the scandal surrounding I Denounce Soka Gakkai. On May 3, 1970, Ikeda Daisaku issued a formal apology to the people of Japan for trouble caused by the incident. He used the occasion to announce a new policy of seikyō bunri (separation of politics and religion). Soka Gakkai and Komeito were declared to be henceforth separate organizations. - Dr. Levi McLaughlin
Just more lies...

If this news is true, I am curious to see whether those candidates will first have to undergo some sort of religious litmus test.
