Japanese ruling party president Yoshihide Suga is poised to become the nation's next prime minister after Shinzo Abe's resignation
Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, left, presents Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga with flowers after Suga was elected as new head of Japan’s ruling party on September 14, 2020.
“I devoted my body and soul for the economic recovery and diplomacy to protect Japan’s national interest every single day since we returned to power,” Abe told reporters at the prime minister’s office before heading into his final Cabinet meeting. He also thanked the people for their understanding and strong support for the upcoming leadership under Suga.Suga, chief Cabinet secretary for Abe's government and long seen as his right-hand man, was chosen Monday as the new head of the governing Liberal Democratic Party, virtually guaranteeing his election as prime minister in a parliamentary vote on Wednesday because of the party’s majority.
Abe, 65, has ulcerative colitis and his current treatment requires IV injections. He said last month his condition has improved but, facing ongoing treatment and physical weakness, he decided to resign.
