12.10.2025 โ‡ข The Day Komeito Considered Electoral Retreat
โŒจJapanese media on October 12 continued to focus heavily on the political fallout from the LDP-Komeito coalition breakup. Early reports from Yahoo News Japan highlighted the coalition's explicit end and underlying reasons. Attention later in the morning shifted to the broader political landscape, with Yahoo News Japan reporting intensified maneuvering around prime ministerial nominations, including Ishin's Fujita. By midday, Nikkei Shimbun indicated that Komeito was considering a partial withdrawal from single-member constituencies and was not ruling out electoral cooperation with opposition parties. This development signifies a tangible shift in Komeito's post-coalition strategy, with potential implications for upcoming elections. Concurrently, President Trump's trade war with China, specifically tariffs and rare-earth controls, remained a recurring international news item, along with domestic concerns about a typhoon approaching the Izu Islands and challenges to Japan's culinary industry.
