Prime Minister Takaichi coordinates cabinet reshuffle and key appointments
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is coordinating a cabinet reshuffle aimed at maintaining policy continuity and political stability. Reports indicate that Finance Minister Katayama, Foreign Minister Motegi, and Defense Minister Koizumi are expected to remain in their current positions to manage critical issues such as consumption tax policies, international diplomacy, and security documentation.
In a move seen as strategic for her long-term leadership, Takaichi is also considering appointing Takayuki Kobayashi, the current LDP Policy Research Council Chair, to a key cabinet role. Additionally, the retention of Taro Aso as LDP Vice President and Shunichi Suzuki as Secretary-General is considered highly likely, which analysts suggest serves as a foundation for her potential reelection in the 2027 leadership race.
