Kishida said during a press conference that he will not contest the party president election to be held next month. In Japan, the head of the party in power is elected as the Prime Minister. After this announcement, it is now certain that Japan will soon get a new Prime Minister.
Why did you take such a decision?
Japan's ruling party LDP remains in constant controversies. The scandals related to the party, controversy over political funding and Kishida's continuously falling approval rating are believed to be the reason for this. In July, Kishida's approval rating had dropped by 20 percent. These are the eight consecutive months. While Kishida's rating is so low. In the year 2021, PM Kishida's rating was around 65 percent. The important thing is that Kishida took over as the Prime Minister of Japan in October 2021. Kishida replaced Yoshihide Suga.
