The race sees a surprising turn as Sanae Takaichi emerges as the preferred choice among Liberal Democratic party supporters, highlighting the changing dynamics within the LDP leadership contest.
With Fumio Kishida stepping down amid low approval ratings and political scandals, the new leader of Japan's ruling party is under pressure to revitalize the LDP and address pressing challenges.
Shigeru Ishiba and Shinjiro Koizumi are key contenders, but the contest remains closely contested with Takaichi's recent rise in popularity complicating predictions for the final outcome.
This election marks a pivotal moment for the LDP, as it navigates internal schisms and seeks a leader who can energize the party and connect with voters comprehensively.
