Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida faces increasing political pressure as his disapproval rate hits a record high, amidst voter dissatisfaction due to perceived shortcomings in addressing political scandals. This comes months ahead of a crucial party leadership election. In response to the growing discontent, Japan's main opposition party has intensified its stance against Kishida's government, submitting a no-confidence motion against the education minister and demanding a meeting of the ethics committee. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), to which Kishida belongs, has informed the opposition that a senior member of the faction formerly led by the late Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will attend the Diet ethics panel on a fundraising scandal. Additionally, more members of the LDP faction are set to attend the ethics panel, with four Abe faction leaders confirmed to participate in the council on the funding scandal.
