Japan’s recent general election on October 27 has altered the political landscape, sparking conversations about the future of the prime minister's selection process. For years, Japan’s prime minister has often emerged from within the ranks of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) thanks to the party’s substantial majority in the Diet. However, as the LDP and Kōmeitō coalition fell short of securing a majority, Japan may now face a shift toward coalition-building, potentially complicating the process of determining leadership. In our latest blog post, we address five key questions on how Japan’s prime minister is chosen. We discuss the impact of internal factionalism within the LDP, the role of coalition dynamics, and how the recent election might usher in new governance models. These insights explore the balance of power, the potential for frequent coalition negotiations, and what Japan’s evolving political era could mean for both domestic and international policies. Read our full analysis to understand the implications of Japan’s changing political landscape and how it could reshape the selection of its prime minister. https://lnkd.in/gEBm2qGw #publicaffairs #japan #japanpolitics #governmentaffairs #governmentrelations #publicpolicy
