Taro Kono in charge of Administrative Reform in Japan
According to Kyodo News on the 26th, the latest poll results showed that 47.4% of Liberal Democratic Party members support the current administrative reform minister Taro Kono to become the next president, while former foreign minister Fumio Kishida ranked second with 22.4% approval.
According to reports, the four candidates for the Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election are Fumio Kishida, Taro Kono, Sanae Takaichi, the former chief minister, and Seiko Noda, the current acting secretary of the Liberal Democratic Party. The four will compete for 382 votes for members of Congress and 382 votes for ordinary party members.
The latest poll results by many Japanese media showed that Kono may have more than 40% of ordinary party members votes, and in terms of Liberal Democratic Party votes, Fumio Kishida has the upper hand. According to media analysis, Kono is likely to take the first place in the first round of voting, but he and Kishida are likely to enter the second round if he fails to get more than half of the votes and is directly elected.
