Ishiba pod presją, by ustąpić

LDP jest w trudnej sytuacji. Partia zdołała utrzymać poparcie tylko w najstarszych kohortach wiekowych, a to oznacza, że chociaż starsze roczniki są liczniejsze i charakteryzują się większą partycypacją w wyborach, to czas nieubłaganie gra przeciwko LDP.

The LDP’s presidential election happens Friday, with three front-runners leading a field of nine in a race that will determine the country’s next prime minister. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/26/japan/politics/ldp-curtain-raiser/ #japan #politics #ldp #shigeruishiba #shinjirokoizumi #tarokono #toshimitsumotegi #yoshimasahayashi #yokokamikawa #takayukikobayashi #sanaetakaichi #katsunobukato

Candidates for the Liberal Democratic Party's Sept. 27 presidential election face two basic, but politically difficult, choices about the country’s energy future: They determine what role nuclear power plays in the government's long-term strategy. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2024/09/19/japan/politics/ldp-energy/ #japan #politics #ldp #shigeruishiba #shinjirokoizumi #tarokono #toshimitsumotegi #yoshimasahayashi #yokokamikawa #takayukikobayashi #sanaetakaichi #katsunobukato

Kto zostanie japońskim premierem?

Do wyborów wewnętrznych rządzącej Partii Liberalno-Demokratycznej stanęła rekordowa liczba dziewięciu kandydatów. Lokalne media spekulują, że zwycięzca ogłosi przedterminowe wybory już pod koniec października lub na początku listopada.

Moim zdaniem wyścig rozstrzygnie się jednak w trójkącie: Koizumi, Ishiba i Kamikawa, która jest postrzegana jako zręczna przywódczyni, aspirująca do bycia mentorką młodszych polityczek. Koizumi może być za młody i budzić obawy establishmentu, że zdominuje partię na długie lata. Ishiba może mieć problemy z dojściem do szerszego elektoratu poza partią.
