Sana Takaishi is returning to become the first prime minister in Japan after being elected by the ruling liberal Democratic Party in the country as her new president in a tightly disputed leadership race.

Takaychi, 64, who is a hard -line governor, prevailed for former UK Prime Minister Margaret Tischer, in a party vote in the second round against her. The closest Cengerro Cuizumi competitor on saturday.

Takaychi, a political, political warrior, will replace the outgoing Prime Minister Shigro Ishiba as head of LDP. But it inherits a ruling party in a crisis, with the high geopolitical threats and JapanThe very important relationship with the United States is the most nervous for decades.

The liberal Democratic Party’s loss of a majority of its majority in the two councils of Parliament under Ishiba means that Takaishi will have to request the support of one or more opposition parties than the Prime Minister’s assertion of his decision to be held on October 15.

The Democratic Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan for all of the past seventy years, has a fragile grip on power through its alliance with the younger Cometto party and concluded dedicated deals with the parties to the opposition to pass legislation and budgets.

The party’s slow crisis of burning was brought due to the defection of its traditional supporters to the small popular parties, where inflation, adults and migration increased to the forefront of general concerns.

Takaychi, a nationalist who prefers more strict restrictions on immigration and requires strong support between the rank and LDP file, said after the first round of voting that it was driven to search for driving by feeling urgency and the need to transform people’s concern about their daily lives to hope.

She wears a royal blue suit that recalled her idol Tachcher. She told the party after its clear victory in the surface flow vote that all members should work “like horses.”

“On my part, I will give up the concept of balance between work and life,” I pledged. “Work! Work! Work! Work!”
