STORYLINE:
Japan will have a new leader after outgoing Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s governing Liberal Democratic Party holds a vote on Sept. 27 to choose his replacement.
They hope to shake off scandals that have dogged his government and regain public support.
A record nine candidates seek the top job, including the son of popular former premier Junichiro Koizumi and a former defence minister who is running in the leadership race for a fifth time.
The son of popular former premier Junichiro Koizumi has been considered a potential prime minister candidate since he was elected to parliament in 2009.
Despite his lack of experience, Shinjiro Koizumi’s background as a political blue blood, age and popularity are his strengths.
He said he will hold a snap election soon after taking office to seek the public’s mandate.
