The reshaped cabinet Miyazawa ( Japanese 宮 澤 改造 内閣 , Miyazawa kaizō naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Kiichi Miyazawa from December 12, 1992 until his resignation on August 9, 1993. With the formation of the renewal party by Tsutomu Hata and Ichirō Ozawa on 23 June 1993, which was joined by 36 Shūgiin members of the Hata Ozawa faction , the LDP lost its absolute majority in the Shūgiin. After a successful vote of no confidence by the new opposition, Miyazawa called new elections in which the LDP suffered a bitter defeat: It only won one seat and remained without a majority. The government resigned on August 9 and was replaced by the Hosokawa cabinet , so that the LDP was in the opposition for the first time since it was founded in 1955.
