Admin’s Note

As the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election approaches, Prime Minister Ishiba’s resignation will likely mark a significant turning point. The current demand to regain conservative votes will have a major impact on future policies and the party’s direction. The way Log and Navi are effectively addressing Chako’s questions also highlights the complexities of politics. To bring about the changes that the public expects, it will be crucial for candidates to determine how to gain support. I’m looking forward to watching how things develop.
