The Japanese government has cancelled an annual party held to admire the blossom on cherry trees, following allegations of cronyism.

Axar.az reports citing BBC.

The publicly funded event, honouring the great and the good for their achievements, has taken place every April since 1952.

But opposition politicians said Prime Minister Shinzo Abe invited too many of his own supporters to the last event.

They say he brought 850 people from his constituency, 1,000km (620 miles) away.

Total spending on the event came to 55 million yen (£390,000; $504,000) in 2019, up from 30 million yen five years ago.
