Ishiba emphasized the importance of having a new administration receive public judgment promptly, announcing plans for a parliamentary election on Oct. 27 to swiftly gauge voter sentiment. He aims to instill confidence in the new leadership as Japan faces numerous challenges. Opposition parties have criticized this quick turnaround, arguing it limits necessary discourse on policies before the upcoming national election.
Kishida expressed hope that the new Cabinet would actively pursue key policies crucial for Japan's future, highlighting the urgent need to address security issues amid global tensions, domestic reforms, and social challenges like Japan's declining birthrate. He noted the importance of fostering a political environment that enables meaningful debate about the country's direction, post-resignation.
