Japan to dissolve parliament, election set for October
Japan is set dissolve its Parliament, setting the stage for an election at the end of the month
It will put new Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida against an unpopular opposition in a battle over who can fix the pandemic-battered economy.
Kishida has only been in the role for 11 days, and says he wants to “use the election to tell the people what we’re trying to do and what we’re aiming for”.
The Prime Minister told reporters that he feels “fulfilled” and not “tired” after taking office following a political crisis involving previous PM Mr. Suga.
Voters are keen to see a post-pandemic plan from the government to rebuild the nation’s economy.
