Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is set to elect a new leader in September and, by extension, the country's next prime minister.
Japan’s outspoken, social media-savvy digital transformation minister announced Monday that he was running to replace Fumio Kishida as prime minister, saying he would look beyond domestic affairs and “help steer the world”.
After a long three years in office by modern standards, Fumio Kishida won’t be Japan’s prime minister after September. Japanese prime ministers, with the exception of the late Shinzo Abe, seem to come and go so often that one might think it isn’t important who is actually national leader.
Kishida will step down next month, ending a three-year term as leader of the world’s fourth-largest economy.
TOKYO (AP) — Japan’s ruling party said Tuesday it will hold a vote on Sept. 27 to choose its new leader after Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s surprise announcement that he will be stepping down.
