Japanese Political Turmoil: Ishiba May Remain as Prime Minister to Bring Back the Komeito Party

Japanese legislators propose that Ishiba Shigeru remains as prime minister in exchange for the Komeito Party's return to the ruling coalition

Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) members are working on a plan where Ishiba Shigeru remains as prime minister, in exchange for Komeito's return, which can help retain the ruling position. As for Takahashi Hayato, she will only serve as the LDP chairman responsible for internal party management.

This proposal is currently under discussion, and there is not much time left for the LDP. If the LDP does not quickly come up with a countermeasure, the opposition parties are highly likely to overthrow the ruling party (the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Reiwa Shinsengumi, and the New Komeito) on the 20th, with Tamaki Yuichiro becoming the prime minister. I estimate that Tamaki's side has already planned what to say in his inaugural speech and is currently writing the speech.
