The Centrist Reform Alliance (Japanese: 中道改革連合, Hepburn: Chūdō Kaikaku Rengō), abbreviated as Chūdō or CRA is a centrist political party in Japan. It only operates in Japan's House of Representatives and is the main opposition party in the House of Representatives, currently having 49 seats.
The CRA was formed in January 2026 by the merger of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP) and Komeito in the House of Representatives to challenge the Liberal Democratic Party. It competed in the 2026 general election where it lost seats, moving from having a number of 167 seats to 49. The CDP and Komeito still separately participate in the House of Councillors elections and in local elections.
