On Thursday, NTV reported that Japan’s opposition is finalizing a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s cabinet, which might lead to a snap election.
After hosting the G7 meeting in Hiroshima, his hometown, Kishida’s public approval ratings increased, and a subsequent poll showed his popularity still holding strong.
National identification card troubles and a party held by his son and former political secretary in the prime minister’s official residence have also drawn criticism of his government. Some ruling party policymakers warned against a quick election.
On Tuesday, Kishida said he would decide whether to call a snap election after reviewing many issues.
