Japan’s Kishida faces opposition for remaining LDP chief: poll

Tokyo, July 15 (SocialNews.XYZ) Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is facing growing opposition for reelection in the upcoming leadership race of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), a recent media poll showed.

Some 57 per cent of respondents are against Kishida running in the LDP leadership election in September, according to a survey conducted by Japan's All-Nippon News Network (ANN) run by TV Asahi, reports Xinhua news agency.

The survey, conducted on July 13 and July 14, showed that only 26 per cent support his candidacy, highlighting a challenging political landscape for Kishida who faces both internal and public opposition.
