SAEDNEWS: Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has announced he will not seek re-election as the leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in next month’s party polls.
According to SAEDNEWS, During a press conference in Tokyo on Wednesday, Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made a significant announcement regarding the leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). Emphasizing the need for a fresh perspective at the helm, Kishida stated, "It is time for a new face at the helm of the LDP," expressing his full support for the emerging leadership.
Kishida articulated his vision for the LDP, asserting that "in this election, it is necessary to show the people that the LDP is changing and the party is a new LDP." He underscored the importance of conducting transparent and open elections, along with fostering free and vigorous debate within the party to demonstrate this transformation.
In a pivotal moment, Kishida announced that he would not be seeking re-election, declaring, "The most obvious first step to show that the LDP will change is for me to step aside." This decision signals a significant shift in the party's direction and a commitment to rejuvenating its image.
