Administrative reform chief Kono Taro, former political investigation chairman Fumio Kishida, former general affairs chief Sanae Takaichi, and acting secretary Nagano Noda The four Saints participated in the competition.

　　After the four candidates registered for the election, they delivered election speeches at the headquarters of the Liberal Democratic Party, discussing their main political opinions. How to deal with the epidemic and rescue the exhausted economy are common themes.

　　Kono Taro emphasized that if elected, he will launch an economic revitalization package of 22 trillion yen.

He leads the polls, is also widely supported by the young and strong factions in the party, and has a strong appeal.

A previous poll by Kyodo News showed that among Liberal Democratic Party members and party members, 48.6% believed that Kono Taro is suitable for the new president.

　　Kishida Fumio's strength is equal to Kono.

The leader of the Kishida faction not only consolidated support within the faction, he also reportedly infiltrated the Aso faction to which Kono belongs.

Kishida said that Abe's economic policies have left behind the sequelae of the disparity between the rich and the poor, which must be corrected with the "income doubling plan."

He also said that if he is elected, he "must implement constitutional amendments within his term."

　　Takashi was supported by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and conservative members of the party. She proposed the "Japan Economic Strengthening Plan" and advocated for constitutional amendment.

Noda started late, and had just gathered 20 recommenders on the eve of the nomination, and barely crossed the entry threshold.

She expressed the importance of the Liberal Democratic Party's diversified construction and emphasized the need to take care of the interests of children, women and the disabled.

　　[Rare melee]

　　Japanese media reported that before this election, factions that decided to vote independently appeared one after another, and it was rare for members of the House of Representatives to choose their own "election signs".

With no one occupying an overwhelming advantage, the camps of the four candidates are all formulating exclusive strategies to win more local votes, and they are also strengthening the wooing of undecided parliamentarians.

At the same time, the various camps are also considering the possibility of entering the second round of "final voting" due to scattered support.

　　On the 17th, Kono Taro stated at the election countermeasures meeting that the strategy is "to win the final victory with the broad support of the people." For him, the ideal development is "to achieve an overwhelming victory on the local votes and to motivate the councillors." "Psychological", I hope that in the first round of voting with a high proportion of local votes, I will win in one fell swoop.

A related person in the camp believes: "I hope to win 60% of the local votes. The final vote is not good for us."

　　The Kishida camp is at a disadvantage in terms of local votes.

The camp believes that if it wins, it is likely to be reversed in the final voting stage.

The mechanism for the presidential election is that if no one has more than half of the votes in the first round of voting, the top two will vote again to determine the outcome.

To this end, it is necessary to narrow the gap in local votes, and the camp cadres stated that they "hope to get more than half of the first candidate (to get votes)."

　　Takaichi's original slogan was "Become Japan's first female prime minister," but because of Noda's participation in the war, the propaganda point of "the only female candidate" disappeared.

Takashi, backed by former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, tried to persuade members who have not yet decided on the direction of the vote.
