07.09.2025 ⇢ The day Ishiba announced resignation, not seeking re-election

⌨Prime Minister Ishiba officially announced his resignation at a press conference, a decision that had been anticipated throughout the morning following earlier reports of his intent. This move was largely attributed to growing calls for an early Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) presidential election, dissatisfaction within the LDP, and his acceptance of blame for the July election rout, continuing a political crisis building over recent days. Ishiba explicitly stated he would not seek re-election, immediately shifting media focus to the impending LDP leadership race, with Koizumi and Takaichi emerging as leading potential successors. While domestic politics dominated, earlier reports touched on China's economy, a US immigration raid on a Hyundai-LG plant, and "AI psychosis," with Russia's large-scale air attacks on Ukraine also appearing later.
