政治｜自民党総裁選、連立拡大に意欲 / Politics | LDP Presidential Election: Eager to Expand the Coalition

Summary

In the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election, five candidates expressed a positive attitude towards expanding the coalition.

In the election, which will be held on the 4th, the need for a coalition framework to advance policies is being emphasized as the ruling party finds itself in the minority. Additionally, all candidates are cautious about the possibility of an early dissolution of the Diet, and the new president is expected to engage in policy discussions with the opposition after taking office. The potential coalition with the Democratic Party for the People is particularly drawing attention.

Admin’s Note

The fact that many candidates in the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election are positive about expanding the coalition may be an important step toward political stability. From the perspective of the younger generation, I’m curious about how the ruling party will advance its policies while being in the minority. In particular, it’s crucial to see how discussions with the opposition will progress. I want to closely monitor how the results of the upcoming presidential election will impact our lives.
