The reshuffled Murayama cabinet ( Japanese 村 山 改造 内閣 Murayama kaizō naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Tomiichi Murayama from August 8, 1995 until his resignation on January 11, 1996. The coalition cabinet of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), Socialist Party (SPJ) and New Sakigake Party (NPS) was the last Japanese government to date under the leadership of a socialist prime minister, although the LDP held a relative majority of the seats in the National Assembly . The SPJ suffered heavy losses in the July 1995 Sangiin election , whereupon Murayama offered to resign. Since government politicians were initially able to change his mind, he reshuffled his cabinet on August 8, 1995 . On January 5, 1996 he announced his resignation, the cabinet was replaced on January 11 by the successor government under the LDP chairman Ryūtarō Hashimoto .
