(AP) - TOKYO, July 6 (Kyodo) — Prime Minister Taro Aso could face intensified pressure to step down from fellow lawmakers within his Liberal Democratic Party if the ruling party suffers a setback in the upcoming Tokyo assembly election, Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Yoichi Masuzoe suggested Monday.

Masuzoe said "events in the national political arena" affected the result of Sunday's Shizuoka gubernatorial election, in which a Democratic Party of Japan-backed candidate won and a ruling coalition- backed candidate lost.

Along with the Tokyo assembly poll, the Shizuoka election is seen as a bellwether for the national election to be held by October.

"We need to candidly reflect on the lack of strength on our part," Masuzoe said, adding that the result of next Sunday's Tokyo metropolitan assembly election could have an effect on national politics and various scenarios could happen after the election.

His remark indicates that the movement within the LDP to oust Aso could strengthen if the ruling coalition of the LDP and the New Komeito party also suffers a setback in the Tokyo assembly election.

Aso played down the Shizuoka election result, telling reporters that local elections do not have a direct impact on national politics. He also said the outcome in Shizuoka is unlikely to affect next Sunday's Tokyo poll.

"The Tokyo metropolitan assembly election and the Shizuoka gubernatorial election are not directly related. For the Tokyo assembly election, Tokyo residents will issue a verdict on what the metropolitan government did the past four years," Aso said.

Speaking about when he will dissolve the lower house, Aso repeated his recent mantra that he will "make a decision at an appropriate timing."

Meanwhile, DPJ President Yukio Hatoyama was triumphant in his response to the result of the Shizuoka gubernatorial election, telling reporters in Tokyo, "We'd like to maintain the momentum toward the Tokyo metropolitan assembly election."

He reiterated his demand that Aso dissolve the House of Representatives for a general election as soon as possible to gauge public opinion.

Finance Minister Kaoru Yosano, whose constituency is in Tokyo, expressed a sense of caution against the main opposition DPJ's political offensive, saying, "It's difficult to gauge what's happening in the deep layers of the voters' minds."

On the effect of local elections on national politics, Yosano said, "I'd like to think quietly by myself after the Tokyo metropolitan assembly election is over."
