Japan’s new Prime Minister Fumio Kishida faces a crucial test in Sunday's national parliamentary elections, which will determine if his government will have enough support to stay in power long enough to repair the pandemic-hit economy,.
Japanese Prime Minister and President of the governing Liberal Democratic Party Fumio Kishida delivers a speech during an election campaign for the Oct. 31 lower house elections, in Tokyo, Tuesday, Oct. 26, 2021. Kishida faces a crucial test in Sunday's national parliamentary elections, which will determine if his government will have enough support to stay in power long enough to repair the pandemic-hit economy, and tackle climate change and China’s rise.
Kishida’s immediate task has been to rally support for a party weakened by Suga’s perceived high-handed approach to pandemic measures and his insistence on holding the Tokyo Summer Olympics despite widespread opposition.But Kishida’s long-term grip on power will depend on how well he does in the election.
At the start of the election campaign, Kishida had an unimpressive 40-45% support rating. Suga’s initial support rating, by contrast, was about 70%. Opposition leaders complain that recent LDP governments have widened the gap between rich and poor, didn’t support the economy during the pandemic and stalled gender equality and diversity.
“The upcoming election is about how to overcome the pandemic crisis and determine a future path for Japan,” the conservative Yomiuri newspaper wrote in a recent editorial. Liberal-leaning Asahi said the focus is how to “conclude the Abe-Suga leadership that deeply damaged Japanese democracy and regain trust to politics.”
