Fumio Kishida will step down officially on Tuesday, paving the way for Shigeru Ishiba, the newly elected leader of the LDP, to assume office as Japan's 65th Prime Minister. His leadership comes at a crucial time, particularly with plans for a snap election set for October 27, aimed at addressing the party’s declining popularity.
Ishiba noted, 'I believe it is important to have the new administration get the public's judgment as soon as possible,' reflecting a proactive approach to governing amidst potential challenges.
The LDP has faced declining popularity, but continues to hold power due to weak opposition. Ishiba plans to focus on restoring public confidence while managing economic issues and external threats.
As he prepares to take office, Ishiba is expected to appoint key ministers, including Katsunobu Kato for finance and Gen Nakatani for defense, highlighting his strategy to tackle important national issues.
