The Abe faction, the largest faction of the Liberal Democratic Party, has not appointed a successor to the chairman since former Prime Minister Abe died in July, but after Mr. Abe's "state funeral" is over, Gen Shiotani, acting chairman. The Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced at the general assembly of faction members on the 29th that he would announce the new system soon.
At a meeting of faction executives held prior to this, some of the attendees, including Shimomura, former chairman of the Policy Research Council, who serves as acting chairman together with Shiotani, said that as the successor chairman, they had played a role in coordinating the faction. Opinions were expressed in favor of Mr. Shiotani.
On the other hand, there is also an opinion within the faction that ``it is better to continue to operate with multiple executives for the time being, without appointing a chairman,'' and it is expected that adjustments will be made in earnest regarding the new system after Mr. Abe's loss. .
