 | Japan Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda announce his resignation he main factor behind Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda's decision to announce his resignation Monday may have been his recognition of the insurmountable difficulties in dissolving the House of Representatives in current political circumstances and calling a general election. With his popular support rate remaining low, Fukuda also appears to have lost the confidence to press on after the expected opening of a special Diet session on Sept 12, which a government source says will now be postponed. The latest political development is reminiscent of the move of his predecessor, Shinzo Abe, who stunned the nation last September by resigning as prime minister only hours before he was due to face opposition lawmakers in a just-convened parliamentary session. Even after reshuffling his cabinet on Aug 1, Fukuda has continued to be dogged by low support ratings. He has also failed to exhibit leadership on such key issues as the timing of the start of the next parliamentary session and pump-priming measures now being hastily patched together by the government. The environment surrounding the embattled prime minister had grown worse by the day, after opposition parties stepped up their criticism of his choice as farm minister of Seiichi Ota, who has been embroiled in an alleged money scandal. Speculation has also been growing that the New Komeito party, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party's junior coalition partner, had already given up on Fukuda, which may have prompted him to call it quits. Fukuda had made it his top priority to enact legislation that would enable Japan's antiterrorism refueling mission to continue in the Indian Ocean. The current law authorizing the mission is set to expire in January. But he had little prospect of gaining the support of New Komeito if he had wanted to ram the legislation through the Diet, as New Komeito is reluctant to be seen to be supporting the mission, fearing that a hawkish stance on the issue may alienate its main supporters. This may have been another factor that affected Fukuda's decision to resign. But there is no guarantee that the next leader of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party will be able to manage the administration any better than Fukuda, as the situation facing the government and ruling parties will remain unchanged. With Fukuda's resignation, Japan will see its prime minister change for the third time without undergoing a general election since the ruling parties secured the two-thirds majority it currently holds in the September 2005 general election under popular former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi. Meanwhile, main opposition Democratic Party of Japan Secretary General Yukio Hatoyama told reporters the incident showed that the LDP no longer has the ability to hold the reigns of the government, adding, ''It is the people's will to have the lower house dissolved immediately for a general election.'' |
