Incoming Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has announced plans for a snap election on October 27.
A mere three days after being elected as the new leader of Japan's ruling party, incoming Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has announced plans for a snap election on October 27.
Mr. Ishiba replaced outgoing prime minister, Fumio Kishida, as chief of the Liberal Democratic Party last Friday following a tight race that saw him securing more votes than any of the other eight candidates.
Since the LDP has a parliamentary majority, Mr. Ishiba will be approved as prime minister by parliament on Tuesday.
