Kishida will replace party leader and Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga. Suga is stepping down from the position after a short gap of one year.

Kishida, part of the Liberal Democratic Party, will be elected as prime minister in parliament on Monday. His party and its allies have a majority in both the houses.

Issues related to the future of Japan are their priority

In his victory speech, Kishida said that he would try to find solutions to the problems of the national crisis in which the economy crumbled due to Kovid-19, the declining population and birth rate.

They will seek to pursue important issues related to Japan's future by adopting the vision of a free Pacific Asia.

Big win for Kishida in the second round

In the first round, Kishida was leading by just one vote over popular Vaccine Minister Taro Kono.

Apart from him, none of the other four candidates, including two women, could get a majority vote. In the second round, Kishida won by a margin of 257–170 votes.

Anger with Olympic event despite increasing infection

Kishida is under great pressure to save the party's reputation, which Suga has hit hard. Especially the way the Tokyo Olympics were organized despite the increase in infection during the pandemic.

There is a lot of anger in the public due to this event. Elections to the lower house are to be held in the next two months. In such a situation, for a long time the ruling party was feeling the need for change.

Kishida's stand came in handy in China's regional tensions

The 64-year-old former foreign minister was seen as an indecisive liberal.

However, he later raised himself as a leader both security and diplomatically and won the support to win the party elections. Kishida is known to enhance Japan's defense capability.

Kishida's leadership was exposed by the way Japan showed its stand in China-Taiwan and China-Hong Kong tensions.

Kishida has the ability to hear Japanese

Kishida said he had been listening to voters for the past several years that he had been ignored. He said that our democracy is in crisis.

He said that he has a special ability to listen to people. They are fully committed to taking the Japanese along and taking them forward.

They will work with all their might for a better future for the Japanese.
