flag Sanae Takaichi won Japan’s LDP leadership, setting her on track to become the nation’s first female prime minister, pending parliamentary approval.

flag Sanae Takaichi has won Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party leadership race, positioning her to become the country’s first female prime minister, pending parliamentary approval. flag The 64-year-old, known for her conservative views and admiration of Margaret Thatcher, has pledged to boost women’s representation in cabinet to Nordic levels, though her opposition to same-sex marriage and joint surnames for married couples may limit her appeal. flag She supports revising Japan’s pacifist constitution, strengthening military ties, and potentially forming a quasi-security alliance with Taiwan, raising concerns over regional tensions. flag Takaichi advocates for increased government spending and tax cuts to address living costs, opposing recent Bank of Japan rate hikes. flag Her appointment depends on approval from a parliament where her party no longer holds a majority.
