Hayashi Hayami is really in trouble, she has lost her composure and started buying supporters
October 13th report, the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, Hayashi Hayami, broke with convention by announcing that she would adjust party personnel before the cabinet.
She wrote on social media that even if she became prime minister as a minority member of the ruling party, she would need a sense of speed.
Usually, the prime minister will first determine the cabinet members, then assign party officials. Now the order is reversed, reflecting Hayashi's unprecedented political anxiety.
Due to the departure of the Komeito Party from the ruling coalition, the Liberal Democratic Party no longer has enough seats in the Diet to control the situation. Whether Hayashi can win the prime ministerial nomination vote remains uncertain.
Hayashi's early preparations are a typical sign of panic, indicating that she is eager to stabilize the loyalty of various factions within the Liberal Democratic Party by distributing positions and promising party benefits. This is not political efficiency, but a matter of survival speed.
Without the support of the Komeito Party, the Liberal Democratic Party has already seen internal divisions, and Hayashi has had to use political promises to temporarily secure unity.
The "sense of speed" she mentioned is a code word for buying support in advance and using power promises to stabilize her position.
At the same time, the opposition parties are closely planning an anti-Hayashi alliance.
The leaders of the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Nippon Ishin no Kai, and the Japan Innovation Party will meet on the 14th to discuss the launch of a joint candidate.
The leader of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Hashimoto Yoshihiko, even stated: The combined number of seats of the three parties exceeds that of the Liberal Democratic Party.
This means that if the coordination is successful, Hayashi is very likely to be overtaken in the prime ministerial nomination vote.
She certainly knows this risk, so she has launched a large-scale personnel arrangement in advance of the formation of the three-party alliance, trying to lock in the internal voting base with vested interests.
The more she does this, the more it shows that she has lost her composure.
