CCTV News reported that in the recent 27th House of Councillors election in Japan, the ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Komeito failed to retain a majority of seats, dealing a severe blow to the government led by Prime Minister Ishiba Shigeru. The issue of whether Ishiba should remain in office has also drawn attention from Japanese society.
On July 26 local time, Ishiba Shigeru said in an interview that he would continue to fulfill his duties without personal interests.
According to reports, during an interview on July 26 local time, Ishiba, who has stated he will continue to govern, emphasized that he will ensure the implementation of the agreement on tariff measures between the US and Japan, and strive to support domestic industries in Japan.
Regarding the voices within the LDP opposing his continued leadership, Ishiba said: "The most important thing is the national interest. If I considered myself, I would make various decisions, but as a leader, I must suppress my emotions."
"For the future of the people and the country, I will sacrifice myself without any personal interests," he emphasized, stating that he will continue to work on policy issues and fulfill his responsibilities.
It is reported that the LDP plans to hold a meeting of members of both the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors on July 28 local time, and is expected to exchange opinions on whether Ishiba should continue to serve.
