Takaichi sanae, the "female version of Abe" who was criticized by senior members of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan for being too right-wing, defeated Koizumi Shinjiro, the son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi and the current Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, and was elected president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party of Japan. It is expected that he will be elected Prime Minister of Japan on October 15th, which has aroused great concern overseas, and the presidential palace of South Korea made an urgent statement.
On October 4, the ruling Japanese self-government party held the presidential election, a total of five candidates participated in the campaign, in the first round of the election, no candidate won more than half the number of votes, and the most votes earned former economic security minister Cao市早苗 (183 votes) and agriculture and forestry aquaculture minister小泉进次郎 (164 votes) entered the second round.
On October 4, Xinhua that in the second round of the vote for the self-government party president election, 295 members of the self-government party congress held 1 vote each, and the self-government party branch federation of the self-government party in 47 prefectures in Japan had 1 vote each, a total of 342 votes.
The voting result was: out of 341 valid votes, Koizumi Shinjiro won 156 votes, while takaichi sanae won 185 votes. She was elected as the 29th president of the Liberal Democratic Party and became the first female president of the Japanese Liberal Democratic Party.
The results of the vote showed that in the first round of the presidential election, Xiao Jinglong won more congressional votes than Xiao Jinglong, but less local votes than her, and in the end, Xiao Jinglong thanks to the local votes advantage - more than Xiao Jinglong 35 votes, more than Xiao Jinglong -
Takashi Takashi won 183 votes and Shinjiro Koizumi won 164 votes, joining hands to enter the second round of voting.
In the second round of voting, the local votes received by High Market Early Moms were 25 more votes than the local votes received by High Market Early Moms, the congressional votes also received by High Market Early Moms were 4 more votes, and in the end, in the 341 valid votes, High Market Early Moms received 185 votes, High Market Early Moms received 156 votes, High Market Early Moms was elected as the 29th president, and is expected to be elected as prime minister of Japan on October 15.
That is to say, high-market早苗 relied on obtaining more local votes in order to defeat Xiao Jing-jiang as president of the Japanese Self-Democratic Party, and became the prime minister of Japan, behind which not only are members of the Japanese Self-Democratic Party, but the entire Japanese society has been greatly right-winged.
Takaichi sanae is one of the representative figures of Japanese right-wing politicians. He not only visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times, but also advocated raising defense expenses, formulating anti-espionage laws, "giving priority to Japan" and implementing strict "foreigner policies", which aroused the vigilance of neighboring countries.
The Japan Broadcasting Association reported on October 4 that after Takashi was elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, the South Korean Presidential Office urgently stated: "The South Korean government has close communication with the new Japanese cabinet and will continue to work hard to continue to maintain the positive momentum of South Korea-Japan relations.
In the face of drastic changes in the geopolitical environment and trade order, South Korea and Japan, as global partners with similar positions, look forward to the two sides continuing to work together for the development of relations with future aspirations in the future."
The South Korean Presidential Office also emphasized: "With the restart of 'shuttle diplomacy' between the two countries, Japan hopes to maintain active exchanges with the new prime minister as soon as its new cabinet is established."
Compared with the restrained and expectant attitude of the South Korean presidential palace, the South Korean media directly expressed their uneasiness, vigilance and worry about Takashi Moraji after becoming Japanese prime minister.
When South Korea's KBS TV reported that Takashi was elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan, it called her the "female version of Shinzo Abe", revealing South Korean public opinion's uneasiness and vigilance towards Takashi's appointment as Japanese Prime Minister because in the late period of Shinzo Abe's administration, South Korea and South Korea There was a fierce diplomatic conflict, and Japan imposed trade sanctions on South Korea.
The Japan Broadcasting Association reported on October 4 that Yonhap News Agency reported that Takashi Saami has always shown an uncompromising attitude on historical and territorial issues in the past. If she serves as Prime Minister of Japan, it is expected that this will affect the trend of strengthening cooperation in South Korea-Japan relations.
The Korean Associated Press stressed that "High-Mexico Early Sunny has visited Yasukyu several times during her tenure as a cabinet minister, and if she was the prime minister of Japan, forced devotion will be different than during the cabinet ministry, which may cause strong opposition from South Korea and China and other countries."
In addition, takaichi sanae's tough stance on historical issues such as "comfort women" and the dispute over Dokdo (called Takeshima in Japan) has deeply stimulated the sensitive nerves of South Korea-
At the debate on the election of the candidate for the chairman of the Japanese People's Party on September 27th, Cao市早苗 openly claimed that Bamboo Island is Japanese territory, and that cabinet officials should attend the "Tamoo Island Day" activities honestly, without the need to look forward to the future.
In his 2024 book Defend Japan, Make Its Powerful Wealthy, he denied the problem of "comfort women" with the "historic view of abuse", and also claimed that "comfort women" is not accurate in Japanese.
The World Wide Web reported on October 4 that Yonhap pointed out that it is generally believed that Takashi Haraimu will consider supporting his conservative voter stance when governing. Especially as a politician who has visited the Yasukuni Shrine many times, Takashi Haraimu may "bring new variables" to South Korea-Japan relations, which have recently maintained a tone of cooperation.
South Korea is not the only country that is uneasy and wary of takaichi sanae after he became Japanese Prime Minister. Russian state news agency TASS reported that takaichi sanae was one of the closest people of the late former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, holding conservative views and actively advocating strengthening Japan's national defense forces.
Even Shigeru Ishiba, the current Japanese Prime Minister and President of the Liberal Democratic Party, is not very relieved of such a right-wing Takashi Haraori.
In an interview with the media at the prime minister’s residence, Japan’s current prime minister, Shinzo Abe, said: “Japan needs solidarity and tolerance, not conflict and division. In this complex international situation, hopefully she won’t bring Japan into a divide, which also requires all of us to work together.”
After takaichi sanae became Prime Minister of Japan, does he have the ability to reassure both the Japanese and neighboring countries? Her trial is yet to come.
