Odaily Planet Daily News On November 11 local time, Japan held a special national assembly to conduct the prime minister nomination election. In the first round of voting for the prime minister nomination election in the Japanese House of Representatives, none of the candidates who received votes achieved the required number of votes, and the voting will proceed to a decisive round. In this round of voting, the top two candidates in terms of votes are Ishiba Shigeru, the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Noda Yoshihiko, the leader of the largest opposition party, the Constitutional Democratic Party. The two will enter the later decisive round of voting. Previously, it was reported that Japan's ruling coalition failed to secure a majority in the House of Representatives, and Ishiba Shigeru may become one of Japan's shortest-serving prime ministers.
