TOKYO (AP) — Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s ruling party, facing corruption scandals and declining support, is up against its toughest challenge in over a decade in the upcoming parliamentary election on Sunday.
Despite Ishiba's recent assumption of power, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is at risk of a short-lived tenure due to voter discontent. However, even if Ishiba steps down, the LDP's grip on power is unlikely to waver, given its longstanding dominance in Japanese politics since 1955.
