08.09.2025 โ‡ข The day Motegi and Hayashi joined the LDP leadership race
โŒจThe Liberal Democratic Party's leadership race intensified significantly on September 8th, following Prime Minister Ishiba's resignation. Early reports noted Koizumi and Takaichi as frontrunners, but the contest broadened as LDP heavyweight Motegi formally announced his entry, followed later by Hayashi Yoshimasa solidifying his intention to run. This succession battle, marked by discussions of a "full-spec" election and a proposed October 4th date, continued to dominate editorial attention, reflecting ongoing calls for leadership reform within the party. Concurrently, the Nikkei average surged to record highs, exceeding 43,800 yen, as markets reacted positively to expectations of an active fiscal policy from the incoming administration. Separately, Japan's Q2 GDP was revised upward to an annual rate of 2.2%, partially attributed to strong consumption.
