Die in Japan regierende Liberaldemokratische Partei (LDP) soll Medienberichten zufolge am Montag einen neuen Koalitionsvertrag unterzeichnen, damit Parteichefin Sanae Takaichi die erste Regierungschefin des Landes werden kann.
Die in Japan regierende Liberaldemokratische Partei (LDP) und ihr Juniorpartner haben einen gemeinsamen Koalitionsvertrag verabschiedet und den Weg für die Wahl der LDP-Chefin Sanae Takaichi zur Regierungschefin freigemacht.

Overview

  • Kyodo News and Yomiuri report that Sanae Takaichi and JIP leader Hirofumi Yoshimura plan to sign the coalition agreement on Monday.
  • Those reports say LDP and JIP votes would then elect Takaichi as prime minister in a Diet vote on Tuesday.
  • Coverage cites JIP demands in the pact, including a 10% reduction in the number of lawmakers, zero VAT on food, and ending corporate and organizational party donations by September 2027.
  • JIP would not take cabinet posts and instead aims to shape legislation, with priorities reported to include Osaka’s sub‑capital push and lower social insurance contributions.
  • The negotiations follow Komeito’s exit from a 26‑year partnership over LDP corruption disclosures, which left the LDP without a governing majority.
