Ishiba stood and bowed as he was nominated in the lower house, the more powerful of the two chambers of parliament, before leaving for the Prime Minister\u2019s Office to form his Cabinet.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba will hold a news conference later Tuesday to announce his Cabinet and some of his policy priorities.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/japan-us-kishida-security-05926b50f4f5a83a631f779d906cf06d\">Kishida took office<\/a><\/span> in 2021 but left so his party could have a fresh leader after his government was dogged by scandals. Ishiba said he plans to call a parliamentary election for Oct. 27 so his new administration can have \u201cthe people\u2019s judgement\u201d as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba appointed to his Cabinet two former defense ministers with whom he has worked closely \u2014 Takeshi Iwaya as foreign minister and Gen Nakatani as defense chief \u2014 underscoring his emphasis on defense and security policies.<\/p>\n<p>Only two of the 19 ministers are women: actor-turned-lawmaker Junko Mihara as children\u2019s policy minister and Toshiko Abe as education minister. The government is under pressure to increase the number of women in public office. Women now account for only 10% of the lower house, placing Japan near the bottom of global gender-equality rankings.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba appointed several ministers who voted for him in the party leadership poll and retained Kishida\u2019s top confidante, Yoshimasa Hayashi, as chief Cabinet secretary. He also appointed Katsunobu Kato as finance minister. Hayashi also previously served as defense minister.<\/p>\n<p>The majority of his Cabinet members, including Ishiba, are unaffiliated with factions led and controlled by party heavyweights, and none are from former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe\u2019s powerful group linked to damaging scandals. <\/p>\n<div class=\"Enhancement\" data-align-center=\"\">\n<div class=\"Enhancement-item\">\n<div

Opposition protests delayed the start of the parliamentary vote by about half an hour, signaling a rocky beginning for Ishiba.<\/p>\n<p>Kishida had announced in August he would resign at the end of his three-year term to pave the way for a fresh leader ahead of the next national election, as corruption scandals dogged his party and government.<\/p>\n<p>Earlier Tuesday, Kishida and his ministers stepped down at a Cabinet meeting. Kishida left his office after a brief send-off ceremony in which he was presented a bouquet of red roses and applauded by his staff and former Cabinet members. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs we face a critical moment in and outside the country, I earnestly hope key policies that will pioneer Japan\u2019s future will be powerfully pursued by the new Cabinet,\u201d Kishida said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba has proposed an Asian version of the NATO military alliance and more discussion among regional partners about the use of the U.S. nuclear deterrence. He also suggested a more equal Japan-U.S. security alliance, including joint management of U.S. bases in Japan and having Japanese Self Defense Force bases in the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba outlined his views in an article to the Hudson Institute last week. <\/p>\n<p>Ishiba proposes to combine existing security and diplomatic groupings, such as the Quad and other bilateral and multilateral frameworks involving the United States, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea and the Philippines.<\/p>\n<p>He noted that an Asian version of NATO could also consider sharing control of U.S. nuclear weapons in the region as a deterrence against growing threats from China, North Korea and Russia.<\/p>\n<p>He pledged to continue Kishida\u2019s economic policy aimed at pulling Japan out of deflation and achieving real salary increases, while tackling challenges such as Japan\u2019s declining birthrate and population and resilience to natural disasters.<\/p>\n<p>The LDP has had a nearly unbroken tenure governing Japan since World War II. The party members may have seen Ishiba\u2019s more centrist views as crucial in pushing back challenges by the liberal-leaning opposition and winning voter support as the party reels from corruption scandals that drove down Kishida\u2019s popularity.<\/p>\n<p>Ishiba, first elected to parliament in 1986, has served as defense minister, agriculture minister and in other key Cabinet posts, and was LDP secretary general under Abe.<\/p>\n<h2>___<\/h2>\n<p>Follow AP\u2019s Asia-Pacific coverage at <span class=\"LinkEnhancement\"><a class=\"Link AnClick-LinkEnhancement\" data-gtm-enhancement-style=\"LinkEnhancementA\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/asia-pacific\">https:\/\/apnews.com\/hub\/asia-pacific<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script>\n  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {\n      FB.init({\n              appId : '870613919693099',\n          xfbml : true,\n          version : 'v2.9'\n      });\n  };\n  (function(d, s, id){\n     var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n     if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}\n     js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n     js.src = \"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\";\n     fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n   }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/japan-cabinet-kishida-ishiba-fa7f80b614a8bf298852b6766dbf6403\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOKYO (AP) \u2014 Japan\u2019s parliament on Tuesday elected Shigeru Ishiba, head of the governing Liberal Democratic Party, as the country\u2019s new prime minister.
