Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi canceled live debate due to hand injury, drawing criticism over transparency ahead of election.
Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi canceled her appearance on a live NHK debate on February 1, 2026, citing a hand injury from campaigning, sparking criticism over transparency and accountability.
Replaced by LDP’s Norihisa Tamura, her absence prevented opposition leaders from questioning her about allegations of ties to the Unification Church.
Critics, including members of the Japanese Communist Party and Reiwa Shinsengumi, called the cancellation chaotic and damaging to democratic discourse, especially amid limited public debate opportunities ahead of the February 8 general election.
