Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga said he could dissolve the House of Representatives before the end of his term as governor of the Liberal Democratic Party in September this year. It is analyzed as a remark with the calculation that if the Liberal Democratic Party wins overwhelmingly in the elections held after early dissolution, the post of prime minister can be reappointed.

According to Kyodo News, Prime Minister Suga appeared on BS Nippon Broadcasting on the night of the 6th and said, “Before the election for governor of the (LDP), (deputy member of the House of Representatives) may of course be dissolved.” I emphasized that I would do everything.

Prime Minister Suga suggested the possibility of dissolution of the House of Representatives early in order to lead the government. If Prime Minister Suga does not dissolve the National Assembly in late April or early May, considering the schedule of the Olympics scheduled to be held in July, the general election following the end of the term, as if pushed for in September, when the term of office of the LDP governor expires. May be accepted. If the Liberal Democratic House of Representatives is disbanded early and wins overwhelmingly, Prime Minister Suga could be on a favorable spot in the election for governor-elect as well.

However, public opinion is looking at the succession of Prime Minister Suga. According to a poll conducted by the Yomiuri Shimbun on the 2nd and 4th, the number of respondents who said they wished Suga’s tenure in office only by the term of September this year accounted for 47%. Including the respondents (12%) who said’I want to quit immediately’, about 60% showed that they did not want Suga’s succession.
