Regarding the LDP presidential election due to the expiration of Prime Minister Suga's term at the end of next month, it is desirable to have a late schedule in order to determine the infection status of the new coronavirus among party executives, so the voting date will be the last week of next month. There is a plan to do so and it is expected that adjustments will be made.
Prime Minister Suga's term as president of the Liberal Democratic Party is until the end of next month, and the Liberal Democratic Party will hold the first meeting of the Presidential Election Administration Committee on the 3rd, and the specific schedule such as notifications and ballot counting will be the next on the 26th of this month. It will be decided at the meeting.
According to the party's regulations, ballot counting will be done from the 20th to the 29th of next month, and Prime Minister Suga will decide to dissolve the House of Representatives as the term of office of members of the House of Representatives approaches October. It is necessary to determine the infection status of the new coronavirus, and it is proposed that the last week of next month, such as the 29th, be the voting day, as it is desirable to have a schedule as late as possible.
On the other hand, there is an opinion within the party that the term of office of the president should be extended for a short period of time and the election of the president should be held after the election of the House of Representatives, and adjustments are expected to be made.
