Tokyo:
Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba may soon announce his resignation from his post. According to local media reports, his party coalition failed to get a majority in the recent elections to the Upper House of Parliament, due to which this decision has been taken.
Reports have said that Prime Minister Ishiba has expressed his intention to resign to his close aides after the announcement of the US-Japan trade agreement on Wednesday.
This unsuccessful election result is being considered a major setback for the government. The coalition losing majority is not only a sign of political instability, but it has also raised questions about the leadership ability of the Prime Minister.
Why is this resignation important?
Shigeru Ishiba is considered an experienced and influential leader in Japanese politics. If he resigns, it could be a sign of major changes in the internal politics of the country.
Experts believe that the terms of the US-Japan trade agreement and the electoral failure together increased the pressure on the Prime Minister, due to which he decided to resign.
What will be the next step?
Now all eyes are on when Ishiba officially resigns and who will become the next Prime Minister after him.
Discussions have intensified in the government and the ruling party regarding the new leadership. It also remains to be seen whether an experienced leader comes forward as the new Prime Minister or the party gives a chance to a young face.
