Japan's governing party is holding its leadership election on Friday, which will determine the nation's new prime minister. The winner of the Liberal Democratic Party's vote is assured of being chosen prime minister in a parliamentary vote next week, as the governing coalition controls both houses.
In the first round of voting, no candidate secured a majority, leading to a runoff between former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba, who has been ranked No. 1 in media surveys, and Economic Security Minister Sanae Takaichi, a staunch conservative who previously ran against Kishida in 2021. If Takaichi wins, she would make history as Japan’s first female prime minister. A record nine lawmakers, including two women, competed for the position, with backroom dealing among party heavyweights complicating predictions of the outcome.
