, said he would resign from his position today, Sunday (7/9).Shigeru will retreat even though he has only served for less than one year.
“Now negotiations about the steps of US tariffs have reached conclusions, I am sure this is the right time,” Ishiba said at a press conference, as quoted by AFP.
“I have decided to resign and give way to the next generation,” he said.
This decision emerged less than a year of 68 -year -old PM taking over the leadership of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).He won the party’s leadership in September 2024.
Media reports previously said that Ishiba wanted to avoid divisions in the party and that he was unable to withstand an increase in an increase so that he resigned.
The Minister of Agriculture and a former prime minister reportedly met with Ishiba on Saturday (6/9) night to urge him to resign voluntarily.
Four LDP senior officials, including the number two party, Hiroshi Moriyama, offered a resignation last week.
The opponents of Ishiba also urged him to resign to be responsible for the results of the election, following the voting at the High Assembly in July.
Those who supported this step including Taro Aso, a former prime minister had an 84 -year -old influential.
The term of office of Ishiba as a party leader should end in September 2027.
His main rivals, Sanae Takaichi, who was considered a hardline nationalist, said on Tuesday that he would run for Ishiba.
LDP has ruled almost continuously since 1955, but the voters have left the party, including the peripheral groups such as Sanseito who are populist.
The factors include price increases, especially rice, decreased living standards, and anger over the corruption scandal in LDP.
