Japanese media reported that Shioru Shiba was forced to abdicate by Yosaku Sugai, Yoichi Koizumi, and others.

According to CCTV International News citing the report of the Japan Broadcasting Corporation today, on the evening of the 6th, LDP vice president Taro Aso and Minister of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries Shinzo Abe held a two-hour-long meeting with Shigeru Ishiba, demanding his resignation early under the pretense of "maintaining party unity." Shinzo Abe even stayed alone after Taro Aso left, elaborating on the widespread calls for elections within the party. NHK reports that this political storm reflects deep divisions within the LDP. The Shinzo Abe government exits the stage in the face of domestic and international challenges such as rising prices and US tariff policies, ushering in the beginning of an imminent power reshuffle.
