In 1994 he became head of his party and later that year, after the formation of an unlikely coalition of the Socialists and the conservative Liberal Democrats, he became prime minister. The first Socialist in the post in 46 years, he moved his party toward a number of centrist positions. Murayama resigned as prime minister early in 1996.
