Decline of the LDP
Takaichi’s victory will only accelerate the LDP’s decline.
As the LDP clings to its shrinking base and defensive conservatism, Japan faces a leadership vacuum that could undermine its domestic stability and global influence.
The LDP’s leaders thought that dumping Shigeru Ishiba as party president and prime minister would lead to greater party unity and make the LDP more popular with the general public, but they were mistaken.
- The Komeito has decided to leave its 26-year-long coalition with the LDP.
- Opposition parties, which together hold the majority of seats in the lower house, are considering challenging the LDP’s new president, Sanae Takaichi.
Whatever happens in the coming days, the decline of the LDP — the party that has dominated Japanese politics for more than sixty years — is likely to accelerate.
The LDP appears at a loss as to what to do about it.
Author’s summary: LDP’s decline accelerates.
