Sanae Takaichi's Political Maneuvering Amid Coalition Challenges

Sanae Takaichi, head of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party, plans to meet with major opposition party leaders. Her aspirations to become Japan's first female prime minister face uncertainty after the exit of the LDP's partner from the coalition.

Sanae Takaichi, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, is actively arranging strategic discussions with Japan's significant opposition factions, reported Jiji news. These discussions are set against the backdrop of the coalition’s recent instability.
