The Japanese Prime Minister resigned after less than a year. He was called for this to do this by several members of his ruling liberal democratic Party (LPD).
Japanese Prime Minister Shiger Išiba announced his resignation after less than a year in office. He was called by several members of his ruling liberal democratic Party (LPD), reports TASR according to world agencies reports.
Information about the ishib’s resignation has appeared several times
Ishiba chose the House of Representatives of the Japanese Parliament last October last year. The LDP was then the strongest party in the Lower Chamber of the Japanese Parliament. She therefore nominated the Prime Minister, which is traditionally chairman of the strongest party.
The reports of his possible resignation have appeared several times, but so far he has strongly refused them. On Sunday, on the announcement, he assured that he would carry out his obligations until the new party chairman was elected.
Išib’s coalition lost the majority in both chambers of parliament
Resignation comes only the day before the LDP was to decide on the possible early elections of the new chairman, which would essentially mean the pronouncement of the distrust of Išib. In his speech, however, he stressed that the process of choosing his successor will start and Monday’s decision is not necessary.
According to AP, he would face serious difficulties in the management of the divided party and the minority government. For he has been watching his coalition, since his accession to power, he has lost the majority in both chambers of Parliament for the growing dissatisfaction of voters with increasing living costs, recalls Reuters.
Development after the July elections weakened the premiere position
At the same time, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Coalition Partner Comeito lacked three armchairs in July to keep the majority in the 248-member upper chamber. This was the second election defeat in a short time – most in the Lower Chamber was lost in October. According to AP, this development has significantly weakened the position of Prime Minister and the stability of the Japanese political scene.
AFP informed that Minister of Agriculture and former Prime Minister met on Saturday with Išib to call for voluntary resignation.
