Japan’s parliament will vote on Oct. 21 to choose a new prime minister, with Sanae Takaichi a top contender for the first female PM.
Japan’s parliament will vote on October 21 to select a new prime minister following Shigeru Ishiba’s resignation.
Sanae Takaichi, leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and a candidate to become Japan’s first female prime minister, is expected to be nominated.
The vote will occur during an extraordinary Diet session lasting 58 days, ending December 17.
A candidate must win a majority in the lower house; if no one does, a runoff between the top two candidates is held, with the lower house’s choice prevailing in case of a tie.
Takaichi’s path to power depends on securing coalition support, as the LDP lacks a majority.
The outcome will shape Japan’s economic and foreign policy direction.
