[Global Times-Global News News] On 22nd, Japan's self-government party president election announcement announcement officially kicked out "the election war". High-market early, Xiao Jing, Lin Feng, Xiao Lin Eagle and Momoi Feng five people registered for the election. Because these five people participated in the self-government party president election in September 2024, this year's election is also known as the "resurrection of the losers of the north." The survey scholars said on 22nd in an interview with the reporter of the Universal Times, it was the first presidential election after the self-government party in the two houses in minority status, and compared to last year, the self-government party faced a more passive situation.

Five people "melee" and enter the "runoff vote" with a high probability.

The Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the 22nd that since the self-government party has only a few seats in both houses of the House of Representatives, in the election, how to build and cooperate with the opposition parties to pass budgets and bills, how to build a joint governing framework, how to introduce economic policies to deal with rising prices, and how to rebuild the self-government party.

According to the order of submission of applications, the candidates are: former economic security securityÏàСÁÖÓ¥Ö®, former director-in-chief MomoiÃô³ä, chief of office Lin Feng Jing, former economic security securityÏà¸ßÊÐÔçÃç, agricultural prime minister Xiaosheng In-Sukrao. The campaign camps have submitted the necessary candidacy documents to the self-government party headquarters including the list of recommended members of the self-government party. After last year's nine candidates, under the current system requiring the support of 20 recommenders, this year's number of candidates with 2008 and 2012 became the second in history.

On the afternoon of the 22nd, five candidates attended a political opinion speech, one of the focus of the presidential election was the response to rising prices.According to the NHK report on the 22nd, Xiaoling Eagle proposed to increase the freely-dispatched income of the working generation, including child-care groups, to review the tax deductions and tax rate structure; Momo sensitively proposed the establishment of a "life support special local fund" of trillions of yen, so that localities can be used freely according to regional topics; Lin Feng is proposing the need to a stable 1% growth in real wages.

According to the report, the company said, "The lack of people in some Japanese industries needs to be supplemented with foreign labor, but the relevant measures must be steadily promoted." "To break the conventional barriers to economic operations in the period of deflation and build a new economic operating model in the era of inflation. First, we will begin to abolish the provisional tax rate on gasoline, and promote the introduction of a mechanism for adjusting the basic deduction according to the price and wage growth."

This presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party will compete for 590 votes of members of Congress (295 votes) and local votes of party members and friends (295 votes), and the candidate who wins more than half of the valid votes wins. If there is no more than half in the first round of voting, the top two candidates will enter the second round of "runoff voting". In the second round of voting, the two shortlisted candidates will compete for a total of 342 votes for members of parliament (295 votes) and prefectural votes (47 votes), and the one with the most valid votes will be elected. According to the information released by the Liberal Democratic Party Presidential Election Management Committee on the 21st, the number of party members with voting rights in China is 915,574, a decrease of about 140,000 from the 1.05 million in the last presidential election. It is reported that the five candidates will jointly hold a press conference on the 23rd, and the election voting and invoicing will be held on October 4th.

Japanese "Product News" and Fuji News Network (FNN) released the latest implementation of the joint opinion poll, the results showed that in the question "who is best suited to be the next president" in the first place with the support rate of 28.3%, Xiao Jinghui with 25.7% followed by; Lin Feng is in the third place with 11.1%.

In the survey targeted only to the self-reliance support groups, Xiao Jinglong ranks with a support rate of 35.2%, followed by high-market early days of 22.5%, Lin Feng Jingling 18.6%, MomoÃô³ä 5.3% and Xiao Lin Eagle 4.0%. The Communist Agency said on the 22nd that the election is expected to be a "battle" and the battle may continue until the "final vote", and local votes will be the key. The "Japan Economic News" said that the five candidates may cause votes to be scattered, likely to enter the second round of "final vote".

Suspense is full, and the emergence of "dark horses" is not ruled out.

The major difference between the Democratic Party¡¯s presidential election and the previous is that it was the first presidential election since the Democratic Party was a minority in both houses of the House of Representatives. Yongzhi, a researcher at the North East Asian Research Institute of the Hunan Social Sciences Academy, said in an interview with the Global Times on the 22nd that the Democratic Party was more passive this year than last year.

Xi Jinping analyzed that after the death of Japan's former prime minister Shinzo Abe, Japanese politics fell into a "strong people are not" situation, the power structure tends to be dispersed, the influence of the valves weakened, leading to the lack of a clear leadership core within the party. This time the five candidates have their respective characteristics are more obvious. High-market earlyÃç held key positions within the self-government party, but for the election blurred some of the political proposals with the extreme right-wing color; Xiao Jinglong as a young, clear image; Lin Feng has served as a foreign minister, has practical experience in China and foreign affairs; Little Lin Eagle's main economic policy and other topics, but visibility is relatively low; Mou Aging as a profound politician, also has a

¡°The results of the elections are suspicious.¡± Zhang said that although in the public opinion polls, the support rate of Xiao Jinglong and the high market early, the new president does not necessarily arise between the two. Because the local votes and the votes of congressmen in the electoral rules of the Democratic Party chairman are half each, whether the candidate can get widespread support in the local party members and branch representatives will be the key to deciding the victory. he said that Lin Feng is probably able to fight for the support of local party votes and votes of parliamentarians within the party to become a ¡°black horse¡±, but now everything is unknown.

The new president is not necessarily the new prime minister.

For this election, the statement of the opposition party is also worthy of attention. According to NHK, Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of the National Democratic Party, told the media, "Unfortunately, no quick response to high prices can be seen from any candidate. I hope this presidential election can take the national interests as the starting point, not the Liberal Democratic Party itself." Jun An, secretary general of the Constitutional Democratic Party, the largest opposition party in Japan, said, "It is likely that no matter who is elected president, the situation will not change much, just a change of face."

The Financial Times that the Japanese self-government party may make political history next month and will have the first female prime minister or the youngest prime minister in more than a century. It is worth noting that the new self-government party president elected this time will not necessarily be elected as the new prime minister of Japan. When the ruling party occupies the majority seats in the House of Representatives, the new president will usually succeed in becoming the new prime minister in the congressional prime minister nomination elections. But since the self-government party currently has only a minority seats in both houses of the House of Representatives, the new self-government party president does not necessarily directly take office as prime minister, but must seek the support of the opposition. The Japan Economic News commented that in the congressional prime nomin

In this regard, Zhang Zhi said to the reporter of the Global Times that the opposition parties are currently playing "19" in terms of policy ideas, like a sand scatter, and it is difficult to introduce a unified candidate. However, if the new president of the Democratic Party is a figure that makes the opposition unacceptable, it does not rule out that the opposition party unites to put "taking power" in the first place.

The Financial Times also said that the Liberal Democratic Party has been in power for the past 70 years except for a few years, but now there are serious differences within the party and the public support rate is declining. The new president will face the challenge of "life and death"-how to revive the troubled Liberal Democratic Party.

A disadvantaged Japanese scholar told the Global Times reporter on July 22 that when he was elected last year, he had once fantasized that he could bring change to the self-government party, but the result was regret to leave the party. Now the valve of the party, the lack of innovation, the people's trust continued to decline, so that the election became more formal power replacement. Even if the new president was born, it was difficult to restore political stability and public confidence in the short term. For the election results of this year, he himself did not have any expectations, because the results may be "almost the same."

The Japanese scholar said that, in particular, the weak economic recovery, the intensification of declining birthrate and the transformation of national security strategy are intertwined, which tests the ruling wisdom of the new leadership. Even if the party barely completes the transfer of power, the outside world's doubts about its governance ability are still difficult to quell. What people expect is no longer the compromise product under the balance of factions and valves, but the substantive change that can break through the deadlock.
