On the afternoon of the 21st local time,The Prime Minister of Japan's National Assembly and House of Representatives named election begins.In accordance with relevant regulations, in the elections for the nomination of the Prime Minister, parliamentarians can cast blank votes. If no candidate gets a majority of the total votes, including blank votes, the winning round will be held by the first two.
In accordance with the rules and procedures, the appointment of the Prime Minister is conducted in the order of the Senate after the House of Representatives.In the House of Representatives and the Senate, the one who got more than half the vote in the first round won.If in the first round of voting no candidate obtains the majority of votes, the first two candidates with the number of votes will enter the final round of voting, and the one who gets more votes wins.
Although in Japanese law, the Senate and the House of Representatives in principle enjoy equal powers, the House of Representatives has priority in legislation, the appointment and removal of the Prime Minister, etc. When there is a disagreement in the nomination results of the Prime Minister of the Senate and the House of Representatives, an agreement meeting between the two houses will be held. If the agreement still fails to reach an agreement, in accordance with the provisions of the Japanese Constitution, the nomination results of the House of Representatives will be given priority.
In fact, given that the Japanese People's Party and the Japanese Conservative Society have reached an agreement on joint governing and no unified candidate has been formed on the opposition side, the chances of the self-government party chairman, Cao市早苗, to eventually be elected as a new prime minister of Japan are greater.
