The political realignment involving the opposition parties…” “A major reversal” for Sanae Takaichi: Shigeru Ishiba, the new LDP president, “Dangerous management of the government”.

The LDP presidential election was held on September 27, and Shigeru Ishiba was chosen as the new LDP president.

Of the 20 nominees for Mr. Takaichi, 13 are “money-backed” councilors, which is more than any other candidate. This number stood out from the rest of the candidates, and he had clearly stated “no” to the re-investigation of the slush fund issue.
