Kishida's "risky move" to compete in elections
According to the Jiji Press website on September 13, Japanese Prime Minister Takeo Kishida carried out cabinet reorganization and personnel adjustment of the Liberal Democratic Party on September 13. While emphasizing the maintenance of political stability, Kishida is also actively wooing female legislators and those waiting to enter the cabinet among various factions within the party, striving to balance public opinion trends and the wishes of various factions.
According to reports, there is a lot of discussion about Kishida's dissolution of the House of Representatives and early elections within the year. Kishida's biggest goal is to be re elected as the President of the Liberal Democratic Party next autumn, but it may also be a dangerous restart.
According to reports, Foreign Minister Lin Fangzheng has been replaced by Yoko Uesugawa, who is also from the Kishida faction. Uesukawa had already served as the Minister of Justice three times before, and there has long been a consensus among the outside world about his steady actions. The appointment of Kato Nariko, who is currently in the childcare age, as the Minister of Children's Policy is also to demonstrate the novelty of this restructuring.
On September 13th, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida attended a high-level meeting of the Liberal Democratic Party in Tokyo.
According to reports, both the Chief Cabinet Secretary and the Finance Minister will remain in office, which is a result of balancing the power of the largest faction, Abe faction, and the second largest faction, Aso faction. In the last LDP presidential election, economic security officials Takashi Hayao and Digital Prime Minister Taro Kono, who competed with the Prime Minister, will remain in office. Some candidates recommended by various factions have also been accepted into the cabinet.

The report also stated that in terms of personnel within the party, the Chairman of the Election Strategy Committee responsible for election affairs will be appointed by Yuko Kobayashi from the Maomu faction. Considering that the Chairman of the Maomu faction, Minchong Maomu, will remain as Secretary General, two of the four major positions within the party are occupied by the Maomu faction, which may cause dissatisfaction among other factions.
The report suggests that hiring Yuko Kobayashi may become a double-edged sword. She resigned as the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry in 2014 due to political funding issues, and still bears the label of "not being fully explained" to this day.
According to reports, the opposition party in Japan plans to focus on strengthening its offensive against the government during the autumn interim parliament. At a press conference on the 12th, Secretary General of the Constitutional Democratic Party, Katsuo Okada, pointed out to Kobayashi, "I think her explanation was not sufficient, and she has a responsibility to explain clearly."
