Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi pledged to resign immediately if the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party, fail to secure a majority in the upcoming House of Representatives election. Speaking during a multi-party debate on Monday, Takaichi framed the February 8 general election as a referendum on her mandate, stating that an electoral defeat would render her unable to advance her policy agenda. The announcement comes just ahead of a 16-day campaign window—the shortest in Japan’s postwar history—following the dissolution of the lower house on January 23.
