Abe to resign over health, ending era of political stability
The race to replace the prime minister is intensifying, with Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga and former LDP Secretary-General Shigeru Ishiba in the frame.
It seems that Shinzo Abe will be stepping down as Prime Minister due to health issues. As the longest-serving Prime Minister, his retirement will throw Japanese politics into quite a turmoil at a very challenging time for the country.
This year just continues to get more and more 'interesting.'
