Japan’s Sanae Takaichi was formally reappointed prime minister after her Liberal Democratic Party won a two-thirds majority in the February 8 lower house elections. The 64-year-old, Japan’s first female premier, formed her second Cabinet, signaling policy continuity. Her supermajority allows greater legislative control, advancing defence, fiscal, and constitutional agendas.
Takaichi plans to boost military spending, strengthen US-Japan economic ties, and has taken a firm stance on China and Taiwan. Domestic issues like inflation and demographic decline may affect constitutional reforms. She also supports visiting the controversial Yasukuni Shrine.
