“There is no doubt that Suga is one of the most promising candidates for ‘Post Abe’. Even though Prime Minister Suga has the problem that there is no Suga secretary.”

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe commented on Secretary Yoshihide Suga in an interview in a monthly magazine published in July. He jokingly responded, but was called “ the crisis manager of the Abe regime ” and “ the mouth of the Abe regime, ” which increased the ability of Suga, the longest-lived secretary of state (7 years and 8 months). Hamapyeong is already circulating on who will appoint the secretary who will be his mouth if Suga, who will likely win the LDP gubernatorial election on the 14th, becomes the next prime minister.

Minister Suga explained in an interview with the Mainichi newspaper on the 4th that “the post of secretary of the secretariat is very difficult” and “because we must see all the dissemination of information, measures to the National Assembly and reorganization of government policies “. What he emphasized was “comprehensive capability,” including this. The Secretary of State must capture the intention of the Prime Minister as second-in-command of the government, convey it to ministers and bureaucrats, and push for policy implementation. In addition, as a government spokesperson, he conveys the government’s message in front of journalists twice a day. Prime Minister Abe was also selected as Minister of State under Junichiro Koizumi in 2005 and was able to become Prime Minister in 2006. As such, it is an important position that can be recognized by the public as the next Prime Minister.

The most prominent candidates to date are Defense Minister Taro Kono and Hiroshi Moriyama, chairman of the Countermeasures Committee of the National Assembly of the Liberal Democratic Party. Minister Kono, a member of the party’s two main factions, Asopa (54 members), is unrivaled in disseminating information, such as actively communicating with young voters via Twitter and YouTube. In June, the US led the suspension of the introduction of the land-mounted interceptor missile system, “Easy’s Ashore,” which received high marks for policy enforcement. However, there are many voices that are concerned because their personality is so strong that they will be able to represent the government and enter into negotiations with the National Assembly.

President Moriyama, a member of the Ishihara group (11 members), has strong trust between Suga and Secretary Toshihiro Nikai. Minister Suga first delivered the fact that he had confirmed his intention to run in a meeting with Secretary General Nikai and President Moriyama on 29 last month. All three have the common point of being former members of the local council. Suga (official residence), Nikai (party) and Moriyama (measures of the National Assembly) are also cited as triangles that supported the Abe regime from behind. President Moriyama has a reputation for building relationships with the opposition party, so he is the right person if he puts the emphasis on measures for the National Assembly.

Minister Suga appeared on the broadcast on the 5th and avoided an immediate response, saying, “It is very distressing” the question of which of the two people you have in mind. In the process of forming the popular theory of Suga, the movement of other factions began to curb the expansion of the influence of the main secretary, Nikai, who played the role of “kingmaker”. As such, it is unclear whether the appointment of Secretary General Nikai and President Moriyama can be appointed secretary at the same time.

In Hosodapa (98 members), the largest faction to which Prime Minister Abe belongs, Koichi Hagiuda is appointed Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology. There is also talk about Kato Katsunobu, Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare of Takeshita (54 members), who worked together as Minister of Defense, and Hiroshi Kajiyama, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. In particular, Minister Kajiyama is the eldest son of former Secretary of State Seiro Kajiyama, Minister Suga’s political mentor, and Minister Suga Igas, who first considered running as Minister of Local Creation at the time of the inauguration in 2017.
