In a historic move for Japan, Sanae Takaichi has been appointed as the country’s first female prime minister.

Takaichi, aged 64, defeated centrist challenger Shinjiro Koizumi in a nail-biting runoff at the Liberal Democratic Party’s headquarters in Tokyo. Her victory marks a significant milestone in Japan’s political landscape.

With a background as a close ally of the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Takaichi brings a wealth of experience from her previous roles in government, notably as security minister.

She has openly expressed her admiration for Margaret Thatcher, stating, “I’m feeling how tough it’s going to be from here on, rather than feeling happy.” This sentiment underscores the challenges that await her administration.

“We won’t be able to rebuild the party if I don’t get everyone’s help, from all generations,” she emphasized. “I will scrap my work-life balance and work, work, work, and work.”

A pivotal aspect of Takaichi’s agenda will be her interaction with President Trump, particularly in light of U.S. tariffs that contributed to the downfall of her predecessor’s administration. The Wall Street Journal notes:

Takaichi, a staunch Japanese nationalist, hails from Nara, a region renowned for its sacred deer and tourism. Like Abe, she champions a robust U.S.-Japan alliance, and her conservative views align with Trump’s policies on foreign affairs and social issues.

Her rise reflects a trend of conservative ascendance within major economies. Trump’s re-election in November heralded promises to enforce tighter immigration policies and substantial tariffs on imports, a strategy resonating with voters in Japan and beyond.

Concerns surrounding immigration, lackluster economic performance, and persistent inflation have rallied support for right-leaning parties in France, Italy, and the UK, echoing Takaichi’s own political positioning.

Although Japan boasts significant global influence, it grapples with serious challenges, including a burgeoning budget deficit, rising inflation, and a critically low birth rate.

BREAKING:

Sanae Takaichi emerges victorious in the internal vote of Japan’s ruling party to become its next PM candidate.

The politician, known for her anti-migration stance, is affiliated with Japan’s preeminent nationalist organization, Nippon Kaigi, and is recognized as a hard-line conservative.

The legacy of Takaichi’s mentor, Shinzo Abe, hangs heavily over her administration; he was tragically assassinated in 2022, despite stepping down just two years prior.
