21.07.2025 โข Ishiba's Continuation Amidst Party Dissent
โจThe day's focus remained on the aftermath of Japan's Upper House election. Early reports confirmed the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's significant loss of majority, a development anticipated from the previous day.
Despite this outcome, Prime Minister Ishiba quickly indicated his intent to remain in office, formally announcing his continuation by mid-morning. He cited the need to prevent political stagnation, addressing ongoing issues like US tariff negotiations and rising prices, and expressed a desire for cooperation with opposition parties.
However, this decision quickly triggered internal LDP dissent, with calls for an "Ishiba oust" movement emerging. Media analyses also highlighted the clear defection of the LDP's traditional conservative voter base, further complicating the political landscape and raising questions about future policy momentum.
