The position of Prime Minister for Takahashi Asako is being blocked, and the Komeito Party has set conditions, the first of which is that Takahashi Asako must agree not to visit Yasukuni Shrine! On October 10th, according to foreign media reports, due to the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) not having enough seats in the House of Representatives, Takahashi Asako is seeking cooperation with the Komeito Party to form a coalition government. However, it now appears that Takahashi Asako's path to the prime ministerial position is not easy. In total, there are 465 seats in the House of Representatives, with the LDP having 196 seats and the Komeito Party having 24 seats.

Takahashi Asako's strategy is to first bring in the Komeito Party and consider bringing in the 27 seats of the Constitutional Democratic Party to form a coalition government. However, the first step of Takahashi Asako's plan has already encountered a major problem. In response to Takahashi Asako's approach, the Komeito Party has first required that Takahashi Asako not visit Yasukuni Shrine during her term. The leader of the Komeito Party, Saito Tetsuo, said: If we do not form a coalition government, it means our party will not vote for Takahashi Asako in the prime ministerial designation election.

Evidently, if Takahashi Asako cannot gain the support of the Komeito Party, her dream of becoming Prime Minister may be shattered. Due to the current disagreement between the two sides, and the differences in their ideologies, the Japanese Prime Minister election has been postponed to after October 20th. Undoubtedly, from the perspective of Japan's internal political situation, what does this indicate? This indicates that Takahashi Asako's foundation is very unstable, with many constraints. Within the LDP, Takahashi Asako needs the support of MAHARA Taro, and outside the party, the LDP needs assistance from other parties. This may determine that as an ultra-right-wing politician, even if Takahashi Asako takes office, her room for action will be limited.
