Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba on Sunday indicated that he was about to leave the post. He has taken this decision after increasing criticism from within his own party and a crushing defeat in the July parliamentary election. According to Japanese TV reports, party leaders demanded him to take political responsibility.
Responsible responsibility in October
Ishiba took over as the Prime Minister in October last year. However, for the past one month, he was facing pressure to resign from the right -wing faction of the party, but he was constantly opposing this demand. This move of Ishiba came at a time when his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was going to decide on Monday whether the leadership elections within the party should be held soon or not. This decision would have been like a kind of no confidence motion against Ishiba.
What is the real reason for resignation?
Shigeru Ishiba took over as Prime Minister in October, but his party suffered a crushing defeat in the July parliamentary election. The government’s stability was questioned due to not getting a majority in the upper house with 248 seats. Since this defeat, Ishiba had come under target of protest within the party. Especially the right -wing faction was constantly demanding his resignation. Till now, he continued to face pressure, but eventually he decided to leave the post.
Big step before new leadership elections
This step of Ishiba is considered very important, because his party was going to vote on the next day i.e. on Monday. If this proposal had passed, it would have been like expressing direct mistrust against Ishiba. In order to avoid this situation and calm the increasing dissatisfaction in the party, he chose the way to resign himself.
