Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba decides to resign

```

Major Earthquake in Japanese Politics!

According to CCTV International News citing a report from Japan Broadcasting Corporation (NHK) today, before the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) decides on the 8th whether to hold an emergency leadership election, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has decided to resign, citing “the desire to avoid division within the party.”

This move comes on the eve of a crucial vote by the ruling LDP on September 8 on whether to hold an emergency leadership election. Analysts point out that Ishiba hopes to avoid further division of the ruling party and calm weeks of internal chaos by voluntarily stepping down.

“Palace Coup” Pressure Intensifies, Party Defections Become Key

Ishiba’s decision to resign stems from increasing and uncontrollable opposition within the party. According to Japanese media reports, during a meeting on September 7, Agriculture Minister Shinjiro Koizumi and former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga jointly urged Ishiba to resign as soon as possible to prevent further intensification of intra-party conflict.

This is not an isolated case. According to media reports, Minister of Justice Keisuke Suzuki from Ishiba’s cabinet, as well as multiple vice ministers and government officials, have publicly expressed support for holding the leadership election early. Previously, Aso Taro—leader of the only faction within the LDP and senior advisor—had already clearly expressed the same stance.

Polling data further quantifies the predicament facing Ishiba. According to a poll released by the media on Sunday, among the 342 LDP national lawmakers and local representatives eligible to vote on Monday, 161 have clearly supported holding the leadership election early, only 50 oppose it, and about 30% remain undecided.
