Historic Moment: Sanae Takaichi Becomes Japan’s First Female Prime Minister
Sanae Takaichi was formally nominated as Japan’s first female prime minister on Tuesday (October 21) after winning votes in both the lower and upper houses of parliament. A hardline conservative and admirer of former PM Shinzo Abe and Britain’s Margaret Thatcher, Takaichi secured 237 votes in the 465-seat lower house and 125 votes in the upper house against opposition leader Yoshihiko Noda. Her nomination marks a historic glass ceiling breakthrough in Japan, where men dominate politics, and signals a shift to the right for the country, a close ally of the U.S. The nomination followed her Liberal Democratic Party’s coalition deal with the right-wing Japan Innovation Party (Ishin), consolidating power for her upcoming term as Japan’s leader.
