Shiho Fujii announced his re-election. The Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party will continue to cooperate.

The Liberal Democratic Party's senior meeting has set the tone: Ishiba Shigeru will remain in office! The Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito will continue their alliance!

In the recent upper house election, the Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito failed to maintain a majority of seats, becoming a minority party in the House of Councillors, just like in the House of Representatives.

At a temporary senior meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party, Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru expressed his intention to continue as prime minister, citing the need to fulfill responsibilities in areas such as Japan-US trade negotiations, while confirming that the party will analyze the reasons for the election failure.

Subsequently, Ishiba Shigeru held talks with the leader of Komeito, Saito, and confirmed the policy of continuing the alliance to operate the government.

It is expected that at 2:00 PM, Ishiba Shigeru will hold a press conference as the head of the party, officially announcing his reappointment.
