Next Japanese Prime Minister

she will be first women of Japanese has prime minister

japanese will catch a women and it will be right

Trump endorsed right wing conservative Sanae Takaichi is poised to be the next Prime Minister of Japan

BREAKING: Ultraconservative politician Sanae Takaichi has won the leadership election for Japan's largest party, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), in an upset. She has been described as "far right" by other members of her party and is a member of Nippon Kaigi, an ultranationalist, militarist far-right organization and lobbying group.

Something very weird happened here, and the Japanese media doesn't seem to know what, at least not yet. If the "will of the people" argument worked, why didn't it have any effect in the first round of voting? The Diet members knew exactly how the party members had voted when they went in to cast their ballots. If there was any sense she was going to win, some would have jumped on the bandwagon in the first round. Yet she finished a pretty distant third, proving the media counts going in to be exactly right. But their counts for the runoff were exactly wrong. Where did all those votes come from and why were they held back from her in the first round? Why would legislators tell the truth to the media about what they were doing in the first round then completely lie about the second? Why was Takaichi's team struggling to be optimistic going in, seeming to think they needed some sort of miracle? Something fishy happened here. Have to wonder if Aso suddenly called in three or four decades worth of blackmail.

The LDP is a minority party. She's not getting elected.

fuck yes

woman power

Why did it change so much so drastically? Takaichi made a miracle or what?

Crazy to watch this flip.

I feel like no Japanese person wants to be scolded like this.

WOW...!

Today's vote is an election to determine the president of the LDP and is not strictly an election to determine the prime minister.

yes we can!!

anyone holding takaichi got balls of steel

JGB's are gonna dump like crazy on open lmao. inflation also likely to rise greatly if shes serious about tax cuts and cash handouts

my money...

Japan is not to be underestimated.

This market will remain open until the Prime Minister's decision. Do not settle matters here. The Prime Minister is expected to make a decision on October 15th.

For the first time in Japanese history, a woman becomes Prime Minister. Congratulations, Sanae.

damn wtf

Man those were terrible odds that y'all were putting up there, i kept scratching my head figuring I was missing something. Takaichi was the favorite, but she was at 15c lol

GG

GG

gg

Good Game

Wow Sanae might actually come out on top

NEW : MAJOR INSIDER SUGGESTS SUPPORT FOR SANAE COULD SOLIDIFY

why Shinjiro Koizumi is dropping

What happened to the Hayashi bros? 😂 It's a two horse race, it always was, and although Koizumi is most likely to win, Sanae should be higher odds

u can watch live for NHK

Smart money on Koizumi now. The runoff is mostly diet votes, and most dropped candidates are closer to Koizumi - both work against Sanae

First Round Results: Takaichi: 183 votes Koizumi: 164 votes Hayashi: 134 votes Takaichi and Koizumi advance to the finals.

when result come out

still have a chance

Why is Takaichi so low while leading the polls?

It's quite a shame that Sanae Takaichi, the most popular candidate among the Japanese people, might be the first to drop out.

Now Hayashi is getting serious chance into second round

Fun. Cool. Se....(?).

squid game

Real odds:

Koizumi will win, nothing ever happens

I have never seen a tourist kick a deer in Nara, but those LDP boys sure are kicking the crap out of Takaichi. Begging a severely weakened Aso to come to her side again is not a good look. She should have had him in the bag weeks ago. Time to bow out and try to save face. Shout out to comon119, who either hates money or doing basic math. Good arguments for both I suppose.

Takaochi is popular among public, while Koizumi leads with party members…. so place your bet wisely

So many people pretending to be Japanese to try to pump Hayashi so they can dump their positions 😂 "KANARI HIKUI WA" 😂😂

Come on guys, Koizumi might be a young cool and hip guy, but he cant produce a banger like Hayashi does: https://youtu.be/gv8x2AqjZP8?si=9umxqCcYejTntYdE

Koizumi 1, Hayashi. 2, Takaichi 3, According to Asahi News these are the current rankings, so it baffles the mind why this market has Takaichi 3x higher than Hayashi

Hayashi-san ga kanari hikui wa!

A second scandal involving Koizumi has just been revealed by Bunshun. It’s far more serious than the first one.

It is natural that Shinjiro Koizumi will be elected.

Wow. Interesting comment. There's just one thing I'd like to teach this 'Japan expert': former Prime Minister Kishida's faction, the Kochikai, has implicitly shown that they will not vote for Takaichi. 'Prime Minister Takaichi'? That's nonsense. In any case, Koizumi is the most promising candidate.

Don't fall for the fake "Japanese" commenters trying to pump Hayashi 😂

Hayashi is considered to be "pro-China". He will never be selected as PM.

The LDP has learned its lesson in promoting old men who no one likes or cares about to be PM. They won't make the same mistake again - this time it will be Sanae or Koizumi. Hayashi has 0 chance of becoming PM.

Hayashi is underrated.

Hey guys, I'm Japanese (Sorry for my poor English)

Sanae is too cheap. Should be around 45% chance and tied with Koizumi.

NEW: two polls show Sanae is the most popular choice for PM both among the general electorate and among LDP members. The majority of LDP congressmen remain unannounced, so the apparent support for Koizumi could prove to be illusory. Abe was Japan's most popular and loved PM - and Sanae is his protege

Uh oh, the bots are malfunctioning

some weird rumors floating around koizumi will drop

Koizumi Love

This is still a YES for my good looking man Koizumi

No shot Sanae Takaichi actually wins right? Japan desperately needs immigration if they're not willing to have kids or change work culture. How does loose fiscal expansion at a time when inflation is above target and debt to GDP is above 200% make sense? If she wins JGB yields would only stay elevated

I feel like the odds here are really strange. Why does Shinjiro have such a high approval rating? He opened a TikTok account to try and win over young voters, but it totally backfired, and then there was that scandal about him trashing his own party rivals. Honestly, I don’t think his online support is even 10%. Almost everyone online seems to be backing Takaichi, like 90%. And since this isn’t a direct election, diet member who are thinking about their own chances in the next election probably won’t want to throw their support behind Shinjiro.

Can any Japs give a thesis to Takaichi winning? What do Diet votes look like? (I love anime)

Seems no japanese are betting here…

when will result come out?

I AM MORON

A major scandal about Shinjiro has just been reported by Bunshun.

Koizumi best looking out of all the candidates, he deserves to W

did anything happen?

Sanae is done…. Unfortunately. Weired how she was second last time but now doesn’t have chance…. Better dump her ass while there is money in the order books

At yesterday’s joint rally, Ms. Takaichi sang songs and spoke about abstract conservative ideology. It’s safe to assume she has effectively given up on becoming Prime Minister. Only hard-core right-wingers can follow her now.

HAYASHI for the suprise win!!!!

https://japannews.yomiuri.co.jp/politics/politics-government/20250915-281069/ Thoughts? Altough it eon't be decided by voters, and also amond LDP voters Koizumi is leading

Sanae Takaichi winning would be bad for JGB holders, keeping a close eye on this race.

I believe japan is not progressive enough for woman prime minister.

boomers need to go

Only Sanae Takaichi can save Japan

Wheres the indian one vote for him

hopefully someone actually rightwing this time...
