On the 19th, Japan's former economic security minister, CaoÊÐÔçÃç, officially announced his participation in the self-government party's presidential election.

CaoÊÐÔçÃç, one of the representatives of Japan's right-wing politicians, defeated Japanese Prime Minister Shizoku in the final round of last year's presidential election.

The Liberal Democratic Party lost successively in the House of Representatives election in October last year and the Senate election in July this year. The ruling coalition composed of the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party lost more than half of the seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate. This is the first time since its establishment in 1955 that the Liberal Democratic Party has failed to win more than half of the seats in both houses of Congress. Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba held a press conference on September 7th, announcing his decision to resign as president of the Liberal Democratic Party. The Liberal Democratic Party of Japan held a meeting of the Presidential Election Management Committee on the afternoon of September 9th, and decided to hold the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party on October 4th.
