Back in parliament, Takaichi will face her biggest test yet
The crowded 69-day parliamentary session will present the biggest test yet for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's leadership.
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is poised to embark on her most challenging parliamentary session yet, beginning on October 5th with a fresh Cabinet. Despite her newfound confidence, Takaichi faces a daunting array of obstacles that could determine whether her political momentum translates into tangible results. Unlike typical parliamentary sessions, this extraordinary gathering will immediately tackle pivotal issues the government aims to tackle before year's end.
With just 69 days remaining, Takaichi's new Cabinet will be put to the ultimate test to avoid costly missteps in advancing critical policy and legislative decisions. At the forefront of her agenda is legislation to slash the consumption tax rate for food to a mere 1% for two years.
