Original title: Kan Yiwei abandoned the election from the president of the Democratic Party, Shinzo Abe: very sorry
[global network reporter Lin Zeyu] according to the latest news of Yomiuri Shimbun on the 3rd, in response to Japanese Prime Minister Kan Yiwei's abandonment of his candidacy for president of the Liberal Democratic Party, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said that Kan Yiwei had disclosed to him his intention to abandon the election on the phone, "it's very regrettable, but his decision is for the sake of the Liberal Democratic Party and Japan." Abe said.

According to the latest news from the Japan Broadcasting Association (NHK) on the 3rd, Japanese Prime Minister Kan Yiwei announced at the LDP party meeting that he would not participate in the LDP president election. This means that Kan Yiwei will not have the opportunity to lead the LDP to participate in the upcoming house of Representatives election, nor will he be the next Japanese Prime Minister. According to participants, Kan Yiwei said at the meeting, "I want to focus on dealing with the new crown, so I won't run for president of the Liberal Democratic Party."
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party held a meeting on August 26 to determine that the president election will be launched on September 17 and voted on September 29. On Thursday, former Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) governor Wen Xiong Kishida held a press conference and expressed his "determination" to become the LDP's presidential candidate. The term of office of the LDP president of Japanese Prime Minister Kan Yiwei will expire on September 30. In addition, Gao shizaomiao, former Minister of general affairs of the Japanese cabinet, said after Kan Yiwei abandoned the election. During the interview, he said, "it is surprising that Japan's high-level statements are changing every day. I will fight to the end in the LDP president election. "
As Japan's recent COVID-19 situation is grim, the Japanese people's dissatisfaction with Kan Yi Wei's cabinet is more intense. According to the all Japan news network (ANN) on August 23, the latest poll results showed that the support rate of Kan Yiwei's cabinet fell to 25.8%, which once again set a record low since Kan Yiwei became prime minister. In response to the low support rate of Kan Yiwei's cabinet, a number of Japanese media quoted people within the LDP as saying in previous reports that it is difficult for Kan Yiwei to lead the LDP to break through the next house election.
The Prime Minister of Japan is nominated by political parties and elected by members of the house of Representatives and the Senate. Those who obtain more than half of the votes of members of the house of Representatives and the Senate are elected prime minister. Generally speaking, the majority leader of Congress holds the post of prime minister.
