Ishiba Re-elected Next Prime Minister...the launch of a second cabinet

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has risen back to the prime minister's post today, ranking first in both the prime ministerial nomination elections held at the plenary session of the House of Representatives and the upper house of parliament.

In the first round of voting in the House of Representatives, Prime Minister Ishiba, the first-place winner, held a runoff election with Yoshihiko Noda, the leader of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party, who came in second.

In the final round, Ishiba won 221 of 465 votes, beating Noda, who had only 160 votes.

It is the first time in 30 years that a runoff election has been held in the House of Representatives since 1994.

The Japan Restoration Association and the People's Democratic Party virtually allowed Ishiba to serve a second term, voting for the party's leader in the second round, just like the first.

Ishiba faced a political crisis in last month's parliamentary elections, with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito holding 215 seats, falling short of a total of 465 seats.

Prime Minister Ishiba will immediately launch a second cabinet after winning re-election.

However, as a result of the last general election, the House of Representatives (House of Representatives) was reorganized into a female opposition party structure, and it is observed that the Ishiba Cabinet's future state administration, including the passage of the budget bill and bills, will be unstable.
