A historic moment has come in Japan. Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) leader Sanae Takaichi is going to become the country’s first woman Prime Minister by winning the vote in the lower parliament. His oath ceremony is scheduled to take place today itself. 64 year old Sana Takaichi is known as the ‘Iron Lady’ of Japan. She is a big fan of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher. This was his third attempt to reach the top power of Japan. With this, she will become the fourth consecutive Prime Minister who has been in power in the last five years while battling the party’s scandals.

Sanae Takaichi is the leader of the strict conservative faction of the LDP and is considered a disciple of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. His political image has been firm and taking tough decisions. After becoming the Prime Minister, he will face many big challenges. First of all, to deal with Japan’s economic recession. Apart from this, balancing the US-Japan relations and unifying the party after the disagreements and scandals within the party will also be a big challenge.

Sane is adding a new chapter of women leadership

Experts believe that in Japan the Prime Minister keeps changing frequently, but Sanae Takaichi’s victory is adding a new chapter of women leadership in this change. Under his leadership, Japan hopes that there will be a new direction in the country’s policy and economy.

This new alliance still does not have a majority in both the houses of Parliament. This means that to pass any law, Takaichi will have to include other opposition parties with him. This is the reason why his tenure cannot last long. According to the information, Takaichi has also been a heavy-metal drummer and biker. He entered politics for the first time in 1993 by winning elections from his hometown Nara. After this, she has worked on many important positions like economic security, internal affairs and gender equality.

Sanae Takaichi considers Margaret Thatcher as her political idol and also completely agrees with Shinzo Abe’s conservative viewpoint. She is considered quite staunch on foreign affairs and has been active in reviewing Japan’s wartime history. Additionally, she has been a regular visitor to the Yasukuni shrine.

PM Modi congratulated

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has congratulated Japan’s new Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on her election victory. Prime Minister Modi tweeted that he looks forward to working with Takaichi to further strengthen the India-Japan Special Strategic and Global Partnership. PM Modi said in his tweet, “Our deep relations are extremely important for peace, stability and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific region and beyond.”
