The Japanese government and the ruling Liberal Democratic Party and Komeito are planning to convene a special Diet session on November 11th. This session will be held to designate a new Prime Minister following the resignation of Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. If he retains his position, Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba intends to form his second Cabinet. The special session is expected to last four days, until November 14th.
Following the special session, Prime Minister Ishiba plans to attend the summit of the Group of 20 major economies in Brazil. This summit will be held from November 15th to 16th and will focus on issues such as global economic growth, climate change, and international security. Upon his return to Japan, Prime Minister Ishiba is expected to convene an extraordinary Diet session to submit a supplementary budget plan for fiscal year 2024. This budget plan is likely to include measures to address the rising cost of living and to support economic recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
The convening of the special Diet session and the subsequent formation of a new Cabinet are significant events in Japanese politics. The new government will face a number of challenges, including the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the war in Ukraine, and the rising cost of living. It will be important for the new government to address these challenges effectively in order to maintain public support and ensure the stability of the country.

What about the environment? All talk and no action on climate change from this government.

I trust Ishiba to lead the nation through these challenging times. He's experienced, decisive, and puts the people first.

Stability and continuity are essential during these uncertain times. With Ishiba at the helm, Japan will navigate these challenges effectively.

Ishiba again? This feels like a step backward, not forward. We need fresh faces and new ideas, not the same old recycled politicians.

Rising cost of living? They'll just throw money at it with another pointless supplementary budget. What about tackling the real problems, like stagnant wages and corporate greed?

Let's elect officials who understand the struggles of everyday people, not millionaire politicians who are out of touch with reality.
