Kishida leaves office as Japan's prime minister

  • 26 seconds ago
Japan’s Prime Minister Fumio Kishida resigned with his cabinet on Tuesday, October 1, paving the way for his likely successor Shigeru Ishiba to take office.

Kishida thanked the people who supported him during his term as the prime minister. His staff lined up to see Kishida's departure, applauding the outgoing prime minister.

Kishida took office in 2021 but is leaving so his party can have a fresh leader after his government was dogged by scandals.

His successor Ishiba plans to call a parliamentary election for Oct. 27 after he is formally chosen as prime minister later in the day.
