The Second Kishida Cabinet (Second Reshuffle) is the current Cabinet of Japan and was formed by Fumio Kishida, Leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and Prime Minister of Japan in September 2023. The cabinet has governed Japan since 13 September 2023.
The government is a coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito and controls both the upper and lower houses of the National Diet. It succeeded The Second Kishida First Reshuffled Cabinet on 13 September 2023.[1] The Reshuffled 101st Cabinet includes more women, while keeping Kishida's potential rivals in key positions.
Background
As of 2023, Kishida has led four cabinets since the beginning of his premiership in October 2021. His first cabinet lasted just 38 days, and was formed following the resignation of former Prime Minister Yoshide Suga's cabinet. After receiving a mandate in the 2021 general election, Kishida formed his second cabinet in November 2021. He reshuffled it twice, the first time being in August 2022 in the wake of the assassination of former prime minister Shinzo Abe, and the second in September 2023. The second reshuffle includes more women, while also keeping potential political rivals in key roles and positions.[2] In total, eleven first time appointees were introduced in the cabinet.[3]
The cabinet includes five women, only one of which, Sanae Takaichi, was inherited from the previous reshuffled cabinet.[4] Most notably, Kishida replaced Foreign Minister Yoshimasa Hayashi, who had served in his cabinet since after the general election, with Yoko Kamikawa, who had previously served as Minister of Justice under Yoshihide Suga.[5] Kishida also replaced Yasukazu Hamada, who had served as Defense Minister since the first reshuffle, with Minoru Kihara, who had never served as a cabinet minister before.[6] Kishda retained Taro Kono and Sanae Takaichi in similar roles.[7] Both had competed with Kishida for the LDP Presidency in 2021.
