At a press conference on Tuesday, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida declared that he would not run for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leadership in September. Because the party president is also the prime minister of the nation, he was thereby announcing that he, too, would resign from office. At the press conference, he said the pregnant thing: “Politics cannot function without public trust.
For a prime minister, Kishida has had poor popularity ratings. Political observers assume that he is resigning due to his increasing lack of popularity. Additionally, he declared, “I made this difficult decision with the public in mind and a strong desire to advance political reform.” Since adopting the American-drafted constitution in 1955, the LDP has ruled Japan and has stood for conservatism and pragmatism despite years of internal strife and corruption. However, it has endured, and Japan still lacks a potent opposition party.
Many obstacles are facing the nation and the ruling party, and these seem to have damaged Kishida’s political standing. The LDP’s relationship with the powerful Unification Church of South Korea, to which its leaders have long contributed, has damaged the party. The former prime minister Shinzo Abe’s attacker mentioned his affiliation with the Unification Church as one of his justifications.
