On the afternoon of October 4th, local time, the Japanese ruling Liberal Democratic Party held a presidential election. After two rounds of elections, sanae takaichi, the former minister of economic security, beat his rival Koizumi Shinjiro, the current Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and was elected as the 29th president of the Liberal Democratic Party.
The election made her the first female president in the history of the Self-Democratic Party, and is likely to be the first female prime minister in the history of Japan.
△ On October 4th, sanae takaichi was at the presidential election site of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.
Who is Gao Shi Zao Miao?
Gao Shi Zaomiao was born in 1961. He is 64 years old and comes from an ordinary family. Media reports said that she was a "rebellious girl" in high school and college who liked to climb barbed wire and sneak into campus.
After graduating from the university, Gao Xiaoping entered the famous Panji Political School, which was the cornerstone of Japanese politicians, and trained many government ministers and congressmen.
△ In 1993, Takashi Saami was elected as a member of the Japanese House of Representatives.
In 1993, takaichi sanae was elected as a member of the Japanese House of Representatives for the first time and officially entered the political arena. She initially ran as an independent, then joined the New Progressive Party and eventually joined the Liberal Democratic Party. In the past 32 years, she has held many important cabinet positions, such as Japan's Minister of Economic Security and Minister of General Affairs.
"Abe Girl"
Especially during Shinzo Abe's terms as prime minister, takaichi sanae held many important cabinet positions. Abe has repeatedly praised her as a "conservative star", and takaichi sanae was once labeled as "Abe Girl" by the outside world.

Cao市早苗 also took the initiative to shape the image of the Orthodox heir of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, and even launched the "Economics of Shinzo Abe" on the basis of "Economics of Shinzo Abe".After Shinzo Abe's assassination, Shinzo Abe said that he wanted to "inherit" the legacy of Shinzo Abe, and was supported by a part of the conservatives.
Hardline conservative, right-wing politicians
In terms of specific political positions, Takashi is known for its tough and conservative stance and proposed the establishment of a new "National Intelligence Agency" to strengthen information collection in the fields of diplomacy and security. She called for the introduction of the latest weapons and the strengthening of long-range strike capabilities, and did not deny the possibility of further increasing the proportion of defense spending as required by the United States.
The former Japanese Prime Minister Shiva Tama Yamauchi has visited Yamauchi several times, most recently on August 15th, the 80th anniversary of the Japanese defeat. Many colleagues in the Self-Democratic Party consider her position to be “too right-wing”. It is said that the former Japanese Prime Minister Shiva Tama Yamauchi has given her the nickname “Taliban High City”. A senior MP of the Self-Democratic Party, in an interview with The Economist, referred to the hard-right people such as Cao Tama Yamauchi as a “tumor” within the party.
Elected new leader of the Democratic Party
In 11 days we will have the exam.
After the rise of the prime minister, there will be many challenges, and the direction of its administration and the political situation in Japan will be very concerned.But the most important now is probably the interim congress for the election of a new prime minister scheduled for the 15th of this month.

11 days later, the Provisional Congress opens the "Great Examination"
According to a report on the website of Japan's Sankei Shimbun on October 2nd, the Japanese government and the Liberal Democratic Party are expected to hold a new prime minister's nomination election on the 15th and form a new cabinet. According to the Sankei Shimbun, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party is currently a minority in the House of Representatives and the Senate. It would have faced great practical difficulties in electing the new president of the party as the new prime minister of Japan. However, because the opposition party has not reached an agreement, it is impossible to take concerted action. Therefore, the ruling party will still have the advantage in the number of seats, that is, the number of votes in the prime minister's nomination election. Therefore, at present, there is a high probability that Sanae Takaichi will successfully succeed Shigeru Ishiba and become the new Japanese Prime Minister.

XHowever, taking over as prime minister is only the beginning of the "great examination", Japanese Hokkaido University honorary professor成田宪彦 analyzed that the new president of the self-government party after being elected, will encounter serious challenges in Congress, the reasons include the following three points:
The ruling coalition of the Self-Democratic Party and the Communist Party has lost its majority status in parliament, and multi-party cooperation has become a reality.
2. At present, both the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito Party are showing a declining trend. The joint ruling status of the two parties in the National Assembly over the past two decades may be difficult to maintain, and a new joint ruling party needs to be introduced.
3. Even if the "three-party alliance" is achieved to win over the Japanese Reform Association, the three parties are currently on a "downward trend", and the "three-party rule" may not be sustainable for a long time.
Intra-Party Problems and Japanese Social and Internal Affairs Diplomatic Challenges

XAs chairman of the self-government party, High City Mornington also needs to directly face many problems within the party, including strengthening unity within the self-government party, dealing with the follow-up of the self-government party's "black gold" scandal, and restoring voter confidence.
In addition, Japan faces challenges in both the domestic and diplomatic fields. Domestic economic pressures and people's livelihood demands such as continued high prices in Japan are still testing the Liberal Democratic Party's ability to govern.
