Less than 24 hours after Shigeru Ishiba’s resignation, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is embroiled in a leadership contest. The announcement, made Sunday evening, signals a significant internal struggle within the party. Former LDP Secretary General Toshimitsu Motegi has emerged as the first to formally express interest in the position. The contest, characterized by apparent reluctance among key figures, is anticipated to shape the LDP’s future direction and potentially impact the nation’s political landscape.
