With the growing view that the dissolution and general elections will be after September, the Liberal Democratic Party has extended the term of prime minister Suga until the end of September, and after the lower house elections, the presidential elections. There is also a plan to do this, and the executive department is expected to carefully consider the situation within the party.

Regarding the dissolution of the House of Representatives and the general election, Prime Minister Suga said on the 17th, "Since the term of office as the president of the Liberal Democratic Party is set to this fall, we must make a decision based on the timing somewhere before that." He reiterated his intention to dissolve during the term of office of the Governor.



Among the executives of the administration and the ruling party, there is a growing view that the dissolution and general election will be after September 5, when the Tokyo Paralympic Games are closed. There is also a plan to extend the term of Prime Minister Suga's president until September 30 and hold a presidential election after the lower house election.



However, there is an opinion within the party that depending on the infection situation and trends in the approval rating of the Cabinet, it is better to go to the House of Representatives election after the presidential election.



The date for the presidential election is set to be decided by the end of August, and the executive department is expected to carefully consider the procedures in the future while assessing the situation within the party.
