Will the Japanese PM change again?
Naoto Kan have been at his position since this June. He is at his position for almost 3 months. Today the Democratic Party of Japan started to accept the candidacy for the party leadership that will hold on 14th September. Of course, the Prime Minister Naoto Kan declared his candidacy, but Ichiro Ozawa the former secretary general of the Democratic Party of Japan, also declared his candidacy. He resigned secretary general over a fund scandal in this June. But he came back and now he declared his candidacy for President of the Democratic Party of Japan.
Ichiro Ozawa has strong leadership and influence in the Democratic Party of Japan, but most of Japanese don't want him to become the Prime Minister of Japan. According to some opinion poll, most of Japanese people don't want Ichiro Ozawa to become the Prime Minister of Japan. And I agree with this opinion. Also, I think, it's really crazy if the Prime Minister of Japan will change again. I don't want to see the third Prime Minister of Japan in 2010.
Anyway, I don't have voting right for that... About 350,000 people have the voting right. The breakout of 350,000 are 412 of member of the diet (belonging to DPJ), 2382 of local authority representative (belonging to DPJ) and about 340,000 of DPJ supporters. But the election will hold in point system, so members of the diet have the largest part of the election.
Thank you.
