Admin’s Note

Regarding Prime Minister Takai’s personnel decisions, while there is a focus on stability, discontent within the party is becoming evident. In particular, the continuation of certain roles amidst calls for renewal may leave many feeling unsatisfied. I want to closely monitor how the political landscape evolves. I hope that the addition of new talent will lead to a more dynamic party operation.
