Japan’s Secretary of State Yoshihide Suga announced on the 2nd that he would run for the election of the governor of the Liberal Democratic Party to succeed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Minister Suga held a press conference at 5 pm the same day and made this statement, saying, “I am determined to do everything possible to succeed the Abe regime and move forward.”

“To solve the kidnapping of Japanese
Looking forward to meeting President Kim Jong-un in person “
He said that to solve the problem of Japanese kidnapping by North Korea, “I want to meet with the leader of the Korean Workers’ Party, Kim Jong-un, unconditionally and open a path like Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s.”
Minister Suga said: “We will continue to clearly discuss with the ruling party” the possession of the “ability to attack enemy bases” that is being discussed within the Japanese government.
He said: “For 7 years and 8 months after the inauguration of Abe’s second cabinet, under the command of the prime minister as cabinet secretary, important tasks that determine the future of the country, such as the regeneration of the Japanese economy, the reconstruction of diplomatic security and the realization of the social security system for all generations. He said: “There should never be a political vacuum in this national crisis (Corona 19).”
Suga, who has declared the support of the main factions of the Liberal Democratic Party, has an overwhelming advantage over former Secretary General Fumio Kishida and former Secretary General Shigeru Ishiba, who officially announced the race on Day 1, the day before the competition. ” Post Abbe ”.
The Liberal Democratic Party held an extraordinary general assembly on this day and confirmed the schedule to announce the governor’s election on the 8th and the vote on the 14th.
Secretary Suga has secured the support of five of the seven factions of the PLD. The factions that support Minister Suga are the largest faction of the Liberal Democratic Party, Hosodapa (98 members, hereinafter the number of members of the House of Representatives), Asopa (54) and Takeshita (54), and Nikai (47), which ranks second. , Ishiharapa (11), etc.
Previously, the Liberal Democratic Party held a general assembly the day before and decided to elect a new governor as the general assembly of both houses (Councils and members of the House of Representatives), in which only members of the National Assembly participated (currently 394) and representatives of the branch of the association (141 members).
This is a stenographic election that is very favorable to Secretary Suga, who obtained more than 70% of the votes in the National Assembly, and the main Japanese media reported that his chances of winning are very high. The Yomiuri Shimbun estimated that there were 294 votes (about 75%, henceforth based on the votes of the members of the National Assembly) when the votes of the factions supporting Minister Suga were combined, and the Asahi Shimbun estimated 284 votes ( about 72%) or more.
This means that 53-55% of the total votes (535 votes) cast by the members of the National Assembly and the representatives of the prefectural association have been secured, so Suga is expected to become the next governor. unless the main factions of the Liberal Democratic Party withdraw their support.
In Japan, which is a parliamentary cabinet system, the governor of the ruling party (PLD) becomes the prime minister chosen by the House of Representatives. The ruling and opposition parties of Japan agreed to hold an extraordinary National Assembly on the 16th and 18th of this day and to elect a new prime minister on the 16th.
Meanwhile, attention is also being paid to Secretary Suga’s mindset and his vision of history. Since the inauguration of Shinzo Abe’s second cabinet in December 2012, he has served as secretary of state and held press conferences almost every day.
In particular, one of the comments concerned the doctor Ahn Jung-geun, who shot Hirobumi Ito. On November 19, 2013, Suga received a question about the moves by Korea and China to install Ahn Jung-geun, saying, “Our country (Japan) has told the Korean government that Ahn Jung-geun is a criminal.” . It doesn’t help with work, ”he said. When the Ahn Jung-geun memorial hall opened in China in January 2014, he said he was a “terrorist sentenced to death for assassinating the first prime minister of Korea.”
In August 2018, when the UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination issued a report urging that the issue of Japanese military comfort women be resolved from the victim’s point of view, it responded: ” I am very sorry that I did not take enough the explanation from the Japanese government. “
However, some analysts say that Suga is a spokesman for the Japanese government, and it is difficult to equate him with Suga’s way of thinking, as they are statements of a phase in which the relationship between Korea and Japan has been rigid.
