On October 21, in the first round of voting for the nomination of the Prime Minister of the Japanese House of Representatives, Self-Democratic Party chairman Cao市早苗 won more than half of the vote and was elected Japan's 104th prime minister.
The election of takaichi sanae also made her the first female prime minister in Japanese history. She is 64 years old and one of the representatives of Japanese right-wing politicians. She advocates implementing expansionary fiscal policy and increasing defense spending.
Although under Japanese law, the Senate and the House of Representatives in principle enjoy equal powers, However, the House of Representatives has priority decision-making power in matters such as legislation and the appointment of the prime minister.When there is a difference in the nomination results of the prime minister between the House of Representatives and the Senate, an agreement meeting between the two houses will be held. If the agreement still fails to reach an agreement, according to the Japanese Constitution, the nomination results of the House of Representatives will be given priority. Although the election of the Prime Minister's nomination in the Senate is still in progress, sanae takaichi has actually been elected as the 104th Prime Minister of Japan.
