10.10.2025The Day Komeito Withdrew From the Coalition
Japanese media's editorial focus was overwhelmingly on the Komeito party's withdrawal from its coalition with the LDP. Early reports from Yahoo News Japan indicated LDP-Komeito leaders would meet to discuss the potential split. Nikkei Shimbun highlighted Komeito's hardline stance, particularly on corporate donations, as a point of contention. By late morning, Komeito formally announced its withdrawal, conveying the decision to LDP President Sanae Takaichi (The Japan Times, Nikkei Shimbun, Nikkei Asia, Yahoo News Japan). This move, ending a 26-year partnership, was described as complicating Takaichi's prime ministerial bid and led to speculation about a potential change in government. Prime Minister Ishiba's post-war 80th-year statement also received coverage, but Komeito's departure dominated the editorial landscape.
