Regarding the issue of when to dissolve the House of Representatives and conduct elections, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in Japan Opinions are divided.

　　In response to the question of when to dissolve the House of Representatives and implement the general election, Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga stated at the first press conference after taking office that he would give priority to quelling the new crown epidemic and reviving the economy.

However, he also said that "will pay attention to time constraints and consider this issue."

　　There are opinions within the Liberal Democratic Party that "the personnel arrangements of the new cabinet are based on practical ability, and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga probably does not intend to dissolve the House of Representatives immediately."

More and more people say that they should focus on implementing anti-epidemic measures against the new crown epidemic.

　　But on the other hand, due to events such as the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics in 2021, the time for dissolving the House of Representatives is limited. Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso said, "We should consider disbanding as soon as possible."

　　At present, a number of public opinion surveys show that the cabinet's support rate has increased. Based on these factors, many people insist on the dissolution of the House of Representatives as soon as possible in 2020 or early 2021.

According to observations, Yoshihide Suga may cautiously discuss the timing of dissolving the House of Representatives based on the spread of the new crown epidemic and the support rate of the cabinet.
