Democratic Party of Japan spokesman Toshiaki Oikawa says the motion was submitted together with other opposition parties.

The motion was delivered Monday, after Prime Minister Taro Aso said he would dissolve parliament next week and call national elections August 30.

The events were set in motion Monday after Aso's ruling Democratic Party of Japan suffered a crushing defeat in a Tokyo municipal election at the weekend.

In that contest, widely viewed as a bellwether for a national vote, Aso's party and its coalition lost its majority in the Tokyo Metropolitan Assembly.
