In Tokyo, there has been a recent media poll that has shed light on the upcoming leadership race of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party. According to the survey conducted by Japan's All-Nippon News Network, which is run by TV Asahi, there is a growing opposition towards current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's reelection bid. In fact, a staggering 57% of respondents have expressed their disapproval of Kishida running in the LDP leadership election set to take place in September.
The survey, which was conducted on July 13 and 14, has also revealed that only 26% of the respondents are in favor of Kishida's candidacy. This highlights the challenging political landscape that Kishida is facing, as he not only has to contend with opposition from within his own party, but also from the general public.
Moreover, the poll has also revealed a growing desire for political change, with 43% of the respondents expressing their hope for a new government after the next House of Representatives election. This sentiment has been consistent for the past three months, with more and more people preferring a change in leadership rather than the continuation of the current LDP-Komeito coalition government.
This latest development has put Kishida in a difficult position, as he will have to work harder to convince both his party and the public that he is the right candidate for the job. With the upcoming election drawing closer, it remains to be seen how Kishida will navigate through this challenging political landscape. Will he be able to secure his reelection bid or will the desire for change prevail? Only time will tell.
