PM Takaichi gave fewer Diet budget committee responses than 4 predecessors
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has given fewer responses during key parliamentary committee deliberations than her four immediate predecessors, according to an analysis by Kyodo News. The findings, based on records from the National Diet Library and the parliament's proceedings databases, show that Takaichi has made fewer responses to the two parliamentary houses' budget committees per regular Diet session compared to her predecessors.
While opposition parties have criticized her limited engagement in Diet debates, Takaichi has been highly active on social media since taking office last year, posting a total of 3,937 times on X, Instagram, and YouTube.
