According to a new opinion poll, former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba is the favorite of the Japanese as a replacement for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. According to a Kyodo News poll, support for him is 34 percent, while the second, Minister Yoshihide Suga, receives 14 percent.
According to a survey by Nikkei / TV Tokyo, on the other hand, the latter receives 28 percent, followed by current Defense Minister Taro Kono with 15 percent. According to that poll, Shigeru Ishiba ranks fourth with 11 percent.
But it is expected that Yoshihide Suga will receive the internal support of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (PLD).
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe announced his resignation on Friday, citing a worsening intestinal disease he has been battling for years. The PLD will name his successor on September 14, who will most likely also be the new prime minister, as the PLD has its own majority in parliament.
US President Donald Trump spoke with Shinzo Abe on Monday and called him the prime minister in Japanese history. According to statements by the governments of Japan and the United States, a future Japanese leader will also maintain ties between the two countries.
