STORYLINE:
The secretary general of Japan’s ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, Toshimitsu Motegi, announced Wednesday his bid to run in the party leadership race.
He will run for party leader in the election on Sept. 27 to succeed Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
The internal election must be held by the end of September, which marks the end of Kishida’s three-year term and will only include the party’s parliamentarians and its 1.1 million dues-paying members.
The winner will be the head of the Liberal Democratic Party and the country’s prime minister as the party and its smaller coalition partner control Japan’s two-chamber parliament.
