Prime Minister Ishiba will dissolve the House of Representatives tomorrow...The general election is in full swing.

New Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba will dissolve the House of Representatives tomorrow and hold an early general election on the 27th.

After the dissolution of the House of Representatives, the election will be announced on the 15th, and the voting schedule for the general election will be held on the 27th.

Earlier, Prime Minister Ishiba said at a press conference shortly after the election of the Liberal Democratic Party on the 30th of last month that it is important for the new regime to be judged by the people as early as possible.

Prime Minister Ishiba's decision to dissolve the House of Representatives is the shortest period of time since taking office, and it is interpreted as an intention to link public expectations for the launch of a new regime to the number of seats.

However, the approval rating of the Ishiba Cabinet, which was launched on the 1st, is around 50%, which is lower than that of most previous administrations as of immediately after its inauguration.

In Japan, a parliamentary cabinet system, the prime minister can dissolve the House of Representatives and hold the people's confidence in the government, and most of them have held elections at a time when the prime minister is in favor of the ruling party.
