Support for the ruling party has increased

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida may announce early elections after the visit of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to the G7 summit. A successful meeting between the Ukrainian leader and the Japanese prime minister could give him additional votes to call early elections.

Polls conducted by the newspapers Mainichi and Yomiuri during Zelenskiy’s time in Japan showed Kishida’s approval rose by 9 percentage points. Kishida’s approval ratings have been rising in the past two months, prompting speculation that he will take the opportunity to set an election date.
