Former Liberal Democratic Party Secretary-General Ishiba and former Liberal Democratic Party Chairman Kishida said:

Mr. Ishiba "Very solid impression"

Former Secretary-General Ishiba told reporters in the Diet, "Many people have been reappointed, and I have a very solid impression. With the convergence of the new coronavirus and the ideal way of economic revitalization, the people said," Japan's problems have been solved. I would like to ask the new administration so that I can realize that I have started. "



In addition, when the reporters asked if they thought that the personnel affairs of party officers and ministers were too considerate of factions, "Governor Suga became the prime minister and president because of the power of various factions. It's only natural to reward your efforts. "

Mr. Kishida "I want to support the administration by uniting within the party."

Former Political Survey Chairman Kishida told reporters in the Diet, "Since the new Prime Minister has been born for the first time in a while, I would like to see a big direction for what Japan is aiming for in the future and bring hope to the people. There are a lot of big issues such as measures against the new coronavirus, and I look forward to the leadership of Prime Minister Suga, and I want the parties to unite and support the administration.
