Japan ruling party picks new leader, likely to become country’s first female Prime Minister

Sanae Takaichi has been elected as the new leader of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party, positioning her to become the nation's first female prime minister. Takaichi, a conservative member, defeated Shinjiro Koizumi in an intraparty vote. The LDP seeks to regain public support and address national challenges under her leadership, with a parliamentary vote expected in mid-October. A potential summit with U.S. President Trump is also on the horizon.
