15.10.2025 ⇢ The Day Takaichi's Path to Premiership Advanced
⌹Japanese media on October 15 continued its intense focus on political maneuvering. The early morning saw reports of Hino Motors' financial restructuring and the ongoing political reshuffling, with new discussions highlighting leadership challenges in a multi-party era. By late morning, headlines indicated that Takaichi would individually meet with three opposition party leaders, intensifying discussions around a potential opposition prime minister. The afternoon brought reports of LDP President Takaichi meeting with DPFP leader Tamaki to request cooperation for the prime ministerial designation, though opposition parties struggled to agree on basic policies. Later in the day, the LDP and Nippon Ishin no Kai were reported to be in talks regarding a coalition, potentially bringing Takaichi closer to the Prime Minister position, a significant development in the post-coalition political landscape.
