Speaking at a news conference in Tokyo on Wednesday, Kishida said it was time for a new face at the helm of the LDP and that he would fully support their leadership. “In this election, it is necessary to show the people that the LDP is changing and the party is a new LDP,” Kishida told reporters. |
