Part of situation: Japan PM Takaichi faces economic scrutiny and cabinet crisis (31 clusters)

Sanae Takaichi prepares for LDP and cabinet reshuffles

Sanae Takaichi Liberal Democratic Party cabinet reshuffle Hideki Murai Japanese politics

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is preparing for a series of leadership changes within her administration. As part of a Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) reshuffle, Takaichi is reportedly considering Hideki Murai, a former Finance Ministry bureaucrat, for the position of parliamentary affairs chief. Appointing Murai would be an unusual move, as the role is traditionally held by a former cabinet minister.

The LDP leadership reshuffle is expected to begin as early as Wednesday, to be followed by a cabinet reshuffle, which is scheduled for September 17.

Ahead of these changes, Prime Minister Takaichi hosted a dinner for her current cabinet ministers at the official residence on September 11. The gathering was intended to express appreciation for the ministers' efforts during the recent extraordinary Diet session. Finance Minister Satsuki Katayama noted that the Prime Minister praised the team for maintaining the cabinet's composition without any resignations since its inauguration.
