Four Japanese opposition parties and a group jointly submitted a no-confidence motion against the Cabinet of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in the Lower House on Tuesday.

The leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP), the Democratic Party for the People, the Japanese Communist Party, the Social Democratic Party and the Reviewing Group on Social Security Policy met on Tuesday morning.

They agreed to introduce the motion to clarify their aim to remove Abe's Cabinet from power, saying the Cabinet continues to "deceive the public on domestic and foreign affairs, and is jeopardizing people's lives and security."

CDP leader Yukio Edano said they all agreed on the move to demonstrate their opposition to the Abe administration.

The ruling camp is expected to vote down the motion in the chamber's plenary session in the afternoon.

Acting secretary-general of the main governing Liberal Democratic Party Koichi Hagiuda said the ruling camp deeply appreciates the Cabinet's efforts, adding that the Cabinet does not deserve to be censured and ousted, and the ruling coalition will reject the motion.

The political battle is heating up one day before the ordinary session is set to end on Wednesday.

Japan's public broadcaster NHK's latest opinion poll shows that the approval rating of Abe's Cabinet is 42 percent, down 6 points from two weeks earlier. The disapproval rating is 34 percent, up 2 points.

The poll comes ahead of an Upper House election expected to take place in July. When asked about the outcome of the upcoming election, 21 percent of the respondents hope for an increase in the number of the ruling parties' seats; 30 percent hope the opposition parties advance; and 44 percent said neither.
