Admin’s Note

Minister Koizumi’s intention to run could have a significant impact on the future direction of the Liberal Democratic Party. His words about a “strong determination” reflect a sense of responsibility and mission as a politician, which must have been a reassuring message for his supporters. Moreover, considering how the election results will affect the lives of the citizens, I feel that we need to take a greater interest in politics. Exercising our right to vote is, I believe, a crucial step in shaping our future.
