Today's key bottom The House of Japanese Parliament elected by majority vote Fumio Kishida, chairman of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), to the country's new prime minister. The parliamentary website informed about it.
It is specified that a similar vote is currently taking place in the upper house of parliament. According to preliminary data, a majority of MEPs will also vote for it there.
The lower house takes precedence over the upper house, so it is the result of the vote in it that determines the new head of government.
Recall that the government was previously Prime Minister – Japanese Minister Yoshihide Sugi resigned in full force.
