Japan’s ruling conservative party has elected Sanae Takaichi as its new leader, positioning the 64-year-old to be Japan’s first female prime minister.
Takaichi is among the more conservative candidates leaning to the party’s right. She faces many challenges including uniting a struggling ruling party after a turbulent few years which saw it rocked by scandals and internal conflicts.
She also has to contend with a sluggish economy and Japanese households struggling with relentless inflation and a stagnant wages.

A conservative nationalist, history revisionist who goes to that shrine and denies Japan's atrocities during WWII. Keep sending the goodwill guys. Stay classy 🤡🤡🤡
hahaha so they are setting her up for leadership failure (the Fall Lady)
People having children again is the greatest challenge.
I get more info in the comments than the news reporting which focuses too much on her gender than policies. Poor reporting by BBC
本当に良かった！So happy now-"Let's make Japan great again‘’- If Koizumi Shinjiro had become prime minister, Japan would have ended up like Britain and been irreparably torn apart. Charlie Kirk said, 'Japan is still in a redeemable position.'
I personally no expectations for her.
But one thing was good a woman becoming Japan’s first female prime minister.
Ironic as she is anti feminism 😂
And she is not going to do anything against mass migration of Asians (who are the main group of mass immigrants in Japan, not Muslims like in the west)
She's an admirer of Thatcher. Japan might be cooked.
石破がやり切った顔してるの草
奈良の女ってのがまたデカい。大和国の復活だ！！
完蛋了，高室女士是中国的克星，她成为日本首相，中国就完蛋了。
LDP has been in power for over 60 years
The commentary of a dim-witted female reporter.
石破と岸田兄弟を取り締まってくれるといいな〜
あと脱税、汚職議員…
🗿
Her first foreign visit will be USA, she will back Japan $500b unconditional investment in USA, good job.
She wasn't chosen because she's a woman, but because she's conservative. Rumors circulated on the Japanese sns that all the other male candidates were being manipulated by China through its money and women.
海外は女性っていうところにフォーカスしてるけど、性別はまじで関係なく選ばれた
Japan's very own Margaret Thatcher. They're totally screwed now.
Lol
Lol
I hope she ends the black company practices.
I actually wish Koizumi had won the election. LDP should never be prolonged anymore.
So far she sounds like she's a good pick. Hopefully she does well for her country & her country does well under her leadership.
There birthrates are over lol
今日本ではすでに旧姓を仕事でも公的にも使えています。彼女は歴史的に価値のある長い歴史を持つ戸籍制度を排除しようという動きに反対をしているだけです。この戸籍制度は今は日本と中国にしかありません。何代も前の先祖の名前や住所などを辿れるものです。これを廃止しようとする人々は日本の長い歴史を否定しようとしている人々です。フェミニズムとは全く違う話です。
Very historic moment for a very conservative nation. US next?
congrats from south korea
前の三人は短期首相だったから今回は恥かかないように
let's normalize equality between men and women
