Fumio Kishida's announcement to step down as Prime Minister of Japan sparked speculation about who will replace him. As leader of the LDP, his successor will become the next Prime Minister, a position that has been held by the LDP since World War II. Candidates need 20 signatures from LDP parliamentarians to run for leadership of the party, and some potential candidates include Shigeru Ishiba, Toshimitsu Motegi, and Yoko Kamikawa. With public trust at an all-time low and the upcoming general election in 2025, experts say the LDP will have to choose a fresh face to regain public support and avoid a devastating defeat. A fierce leadership race is expected in September, with each LDP member of parliament and registered party member getting a vote. The new Prime Minister is also expected to form a new cabinet and reshuffle the LDP party executives in early October.
