The Chūgoku Progressive Party ( Japanese: 中国進歩党, Chūgoku Shimpotō) was a political party in Japan.
History
The party was established in 1894 by five Okayama-based MPs who had left the Rikken Kakushintō. [1] Led by Inukai Tsuyoshi, it won four seats in the September 1894 elections.
In February 1896 it merged with Rikken Kaishintō, Rikken Kakushintō, Teikoku Zaisei Kakushin-kai and Ōte Club to form Shimpotō. [1]
