The “leaks of information” from “non-mainstream factions” to “sabotage” Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who has “lost his majority” and “former Prime Minister Kishida is back on the board”, continue to heat up.

You never know what the election will bring until you open the lid.

On October 9, new Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba dissolved the House of Representatives as the extraordinary Diet session came to an end. The election will be announced on October 15, with voting to be held on October 27.

In preparation for the election, Prime Minister Ishiba decided to deal with the “back-financing lawmakers.

In addition to former Education Minister Hirofumi Shimomura, former Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry Yasutoshi Nishimura, and former Diet Committee Chairman Takeshi Takagi, all of whom were suspended from party membership due to the “slush fund” issue, Prime Minister Ishiba has decided not to recognize 12 members, including former Policy Research Council Chairman Kōichi Hagiuda, whose party membership is still suspended and who has not provided an explanation at a political ethics review meeting.

Members of the Diet Angry Despite Their Own “Slush Fund Problem

Looking at the lineup, many see this as a blatant attempt by Prime Minister Ishiba to crush the former Abe faction. In fact, this may be the case.

The LDP has completely collapsed. The anger of the old Abe faction is tremendous, and some are even trying to start a cabinet overthrow movement, saying, ‘Watch me when the election is over. But if you think about it calmly, it is a fact that there are many members of the old Abe faction who are backers of the LDP. It is strange to see them shouting at the top of their voices, “They are trying to destroy the former Abe faction! ‘ without correcting their collars.

Hagiuda, who has been unapproved of, has been told by those around him that he will “never forgive” him.

I will never forgive him.

(A source in Nagata-cho). In the meantime, some media and social networking services are reporting that “the majority of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Liberal Democratic Party will fall short,” “a change of government is not out of the question,” and “the Ishiba administration will be short-lived. The Ishiba administration will be short-lived, and former Prime Minister Kishida will be the next to be reappointed to the post. A political insider overheard one of these reports.

The media is also trying to understand the old Abe faction. Even in the media, those who understand the old Abe faction are playing a role in the “downing of Ishiba.

The clever part is as follows.

Ishiba is short-lived. Former Prime Minister Kishida will be next.

Ishiba is short-lived.

Prime Minister Ishiba’s defeat of Sanae Takaichi in the LDP presidential election held on September 27 in a decisive vote was largely backed by the Kishida Group. Thanks to this, Prime Minister Ishiba, now in the prime minister’s chair, has taken the stance that he will carry on the policies of former Prime Minister Kishida.

As we all know, former Prime Minister Kishida was “unpopular” with the people. He is emphasizing the relationship between Ishiba and former Prime Minister Kishida, saying, “It’s a ‘Kishiba administration,'” and “If Ishiba quits, that man will come back. If Ishiba quits, that man will come back.

However, as far as we have been able to gather, we have not heard that former Prime Minister Kishida is warming up for another term in office. Above all, in the event that Ishiba is ousted, is Mr. Takaichi not the “real candidate” of the former Abe faction with which he is in conflict?

Mr. Kato said, “They think that if Mr. Takaichi’s name is mentioned too soon, it will cause a halt to the debate. After the election, at the appropriate time, the forces, including the former Abe faction, are probably going to say, ‘You’re the only one who can do it,'” said a reporter in charge of politics at a national newspaper.

The enemy is not in the opposition, but within the LDP.

After all, those who carried the palanquin of “Sanae Takaichi” in the presidential election still feel that they have not lost yet and that there must be some mistake. The same is true of TV personalities, YouTubers, cultural figures, university professors, and others who appear on TV, although their names will not be mentioned. They all have one thing in common.

“If things continue as they are, Japan will perish.

“If things continue as they are, Japan will perish,” they are shouting at the top of their voices.

The enemy is not in the opposition parties such as the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan, but within the LDP. They are fed up with being misinformed. It is essentially the height of folly for party members to fight each other before an election. The fact that this is happening without a care in the world shows how abnormal the current LDP is,” said a source close to Prime Minister Ishiba.

The “main actor” in an election should be the people. The people should be the “main actors” in elections, and they should cast their votes based on the policies of each candidate of each party, without being misled by information of unknown genuineness. A reporter for a national newspaper said.

According to our survey, we do not think that the majority of the public will be split between the two parties. The ban on non-recognition of councilors with back taxes and the ban on overlapping proportional elections were significant. The former Abe faction is trying to divert the conversation, but I think the public’s concern is the slush fund issue. The scandal during the election period is the one to watch out for. Even here, I hear that the non-mainstream factions are moaning.

The next general election is likely to be a “dogfight” for the LDP as well.
