Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) leadership election, 2008
A leadership election was held in the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan on 22 September 2008 after the incumbent party leader and Prime Minister of Japan Yasuo Fukuda announced that he would resign on 1 September 2008, only 11 months after taking office on 25 September 2007 following a leadership election on 23 September 2007. Taro Aso, who had lost to Fukuda in the 2007 leadership election, was widely seen as the frontrunner to replace him,〔http://www.iht.com/articles/2008/09/01/asia/japan.php〕 and announced on 2 September 2008 he was ready to take over as party leader.〔(BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Japan's Aso 'ready for PM role' )〕 Aso won the leadership election against four opponents, receiving 67% of the vote.〔("Aso elected LDP head" ), ''The Yomiuri Shimbun'', 22 September 2008.〕
It was reported that Yuriko Koike, a former defence chief who is seen as close to former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, might stand against Aso; in that case, the LDP leadership election would be a decision between the conservative traditionalist Aso and the unorthodox reformist Koike.〔(AFP: Koike eyes bid as Japan's first woman PM )〕 Economics minister Kaoru Yosano and former transport minister Nobuteru Ishihara, the son of the controversial right-wing nationalist governor of Tokyo Shintarō Ishihara, also indicated they might run,〔(BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | Japanese leadership race hots up )〕 as did former defence minister Shigeru Ishiba, senior vice foreign minister Ichita Yamamoto and former science and economic minister Yasufumi Tanahashi.〔(Search - Global Edition - The New York Times )〕 Campaigning began on 10 September 2008;〔() 〕 a total of 528 people are eligible to vote (387 Diet members and 141 prefectural representatives).〔(Ishihara, Yosano voice intentions to stand for LDP presidential election - People's Daily Online )〕
To stand in the election, candidates had to gather twenty signatures from electors. Aso formally declared his candidacy on 5 September 2008,〔(Aso formally announces bid for Japan's ruling party presidency - People's Daily Online )〕 and Koike on 8 September 2008.〔(Koike kandidiert für Amt des japanischen Regierungschefs (International, NZZ Online) )〕 Yosano, Ishiba and Ishihara also filed to run, while Yamamoto and Tanahashi decided not to stand for the leadership.〔http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/asia/article4721660.ece〕〔(Official campaigning starts to choose new Japanese leader - People's Daily Online )〕 Koizumi announced he would support and vote for Koike.〔(Japans Expremier Koizumi will eine Frau an der Macht - Politik - dieStandard.at › Politik )〕
By election day, Aso had secured the votes of at least 60% of the electors and was assumed to win the election in the first round.〔(Aso zum LDP-Vorsitzenden gewählt - Japan - derStandard.at › International )〕
Aso went on to win the election by a landslide 351 votes. Yosano got 66 votes, Koike 46, Ishihara 37 and Ishiba 25.〔〔(AFP.com - International News, Photos, Videos, Graphics, World )〕 Aso was sworn in as Prime Minister on 24 September 2008. Some speculated that a general election would be called on 3 October for 26 October 2008 following the leadership election, but this failed to materialise.〔(Japan Election May Come by November, LDP Strategist Koga Says - Bloomberg.com )〕〔(Fünf Kandidaten wollen glücklosen Regierungschef beerben - Japan - derStandard.at › International )〕〔(Japan to dissolve lower house in October for November election - report - Forbes.com )〕〔(Japan's LDP Eyes Election as Early as Oct. 26, Yomiuri Says - Bloomberg.com )〕
