The Japanese government on Tuesday announced its decision to call an
extraordinary Parliament session on October 4 to determine a new Prime
Minister, ahead of a general election likely to be held in November.
The
leadership election of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)
scheduled for September 29 is expected to effectively decide the next
premier succeeding the outgoing Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, who is to
resign at the end of this month, as the LDP controls the powerful lower
house of parliament, reports Xinhua news agency.
Four
candidates, former Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, former Communications
Minister Sanae Takaichi, Vaccination Minister Taro Kono and executive
acting secretary-general of the LDP Seiko Noda have announced their bids
for the LDP race.
The new Prime Minister is expected to launch a
new Cabinet on the same day and decide on deputy ministers and other
personnel later.
All four candidates have said they would
deliver a policy speech and hold a question-and-answer session with
opposition parties if elected.
In this case, the two most likely
timetables for the general election are to begin campaigning on October
26 for the poll on November 7, or campaigning on November 2 for the
voting on November 14.
Four candidates are projected to continue to exchange opinions on industry groups and local organisations.
From Thursday, they are planned to answer questions from the public in online policy debate sessions lasting for four days.
The
next House of Representatives election is expected to take place in the
months after October 21 when the term of members of the current lower
house expires.
