On September 22nd, Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party issued an announcement on the party's presidential election, and the new presidential election campaign officially started. The election will be counted on October 4th. The Presidential Election Management Committee of the Liberal Democratic Party has begun to accept candidates' registration, and each candidate will deliver political speeches one after another.

At present, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party are in power jointly, and the newly elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party will become the next prime minister of Japan if there is no accident.

Japanese analysis generally believes that the competition pattern of five people in the current Liberal Democratic Party presidential election has been basically determined, namely, former Secretary General of the Liberal Democratic Party Toshimitsu Motegi (69 years old), current Chief Cabinet Secretary Lin Fangzheng (64 years old), Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Koizumi Shinjiro (44 years old), and former ministers of economic security sanae takaichi (64 years old) and Takayuki Kobayashi (50 years old). According to Xinhua International Headline, all five candidates participated in the presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party in September last year, and finally lost to Shigeru Ishiba. The opposition camp therefore ridiculed the new Liberal Democratic Party presidential election as "the resurrection battle of the loser a year ago".

Under the current system requiring 20 sponsors, the number of five candidates was equal to the 2008 and 2012 general elections, the second highest in the history of the Democratic Party's presidential election.

The current presidential election of the Liberal Democratic Party will adopt the method of "Party participation", with a total of 590 votes. Among them, 295 Liberal Democratic Party members each have one vote, and ordinary party members and "party friends", that is, registered supporters, are converted into 295 local votes in proportion. Those who get more than half of the votes in the first round of voting can be elected; If no one gets more than half of the votes, the top two candidates will enter the second round of voting.

At present, the support rate in the election is leading the former economic security minister, CaoÊÐÔçÃç, and agriculture and forestry water minister, Xiao Jinglong. The survey released by Japan Times this month from 12 to 15 shows that Xiao Jinglong ranks first with a support rate of 23.8%, and Xiao Jinglong ranks second with a support rate of 21%. The Japan News Network (NNN) and reading and selling news poll conducted on 13 to 14 showed that the earnings rate for CaoÊÐÔçÃç was 29%, and the earnings rate for Xiao Jinglong was 25%.

In the first round of voting in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election held in September last year, takaichi sanae ranked first and Koizumi Shinjiro ranked third. It is generally believed in the party that with their high support rate among the people, the two are still strong competitors in this election.

According to some analysts, the main issues of the election are around the current situation of the Democratic Party in the Senate and House of Representatives, how to cooperate with the opposition parties to form a majority to pass budgets and bills, and jointly other opposition parties to build a joint governing framework.

In terms of domestic policies, all parties are concerned about policies related to how to deal with rising prices. Japan's inflation rate has now exceeded 3%. A survey found that 28% of voters ranked rice and other food prices as the top concern, outpacing security and immigration.

In foreign policy, U.S. President Donald Trump announced on September 5 that the United States will impose a 15% benchmark tariff on almost all Japanese imports into the United States, while implementing specific treatment for specific industries such as automotive and auto parts, aerospace products, replicants and natural resources that the U.S. can not naturally obtain or produce.

Who are the five candidates?

The supporters of the leading high-market early-markets and small-markets, respectively, belong to the two major factions of the self-government party. The small-market early-markets represent the middle-markets within the party, he and Lin Feng, more emphasized the middle-market and stable policies of former prime ministers Shandong and Shapropo Mou; while the high-market early-markets represent the extreme right wing of the self-government party, more inclined to the policy direction of Abe.

As a result, the former prime minister of Japan, Shinzo Abe, has always been considered to have close relations with the former prime minister of Japan, as well as close policy concepts, and as a result, the people's circles are highly matched. With Shinzo Abe's partnership, Shinzo Abe's political path has gone smoothly, and has set a number of records as a woman. Shinzo Abe also highlighted her unique female campaigning status at the campaign press conference, saying: "I hope to build a society where women don't have to give up their careers."

After Junichiro Koizumi announced his retirement from politics in 2008, Koizumi Shinjiro officially started his political journey.

At the campaign press conference, Koizumi Shinjiro said that he would focus on the US-Japan alliance and expand cooperation with South Korea, India and Australian countries. He also promised to increase Japan's defense spending to 2% of domestic GDP while creating a resilient semiconductor and rare earth supply chain.

In domestic policy, the proposal for the couples to choose different surnames and abolish the dismissal provision has been put aside, which has been criticized within the party during the last presidential election and is seen as a reason for his poor performance.

In addition to the two with the highest support rates, the other three are relatively unlikely to be elected.
