Ishiba Cabinet Resigns; LDP-Komeito Coalition Ends
The cabinet of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba resigned en masse on Tuesday morning in Tokyo.
The development marked the end of the 26-year partnership between the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Komeito, which started in 1999.
New LDP President Sanae Takaichi is expected to be elected as the new prime minister by the Diet, Japan's parliament, and launch her cabinet later in the day.
Ishiba was in office for 386 days, making his tenure the 24th longest among the 36 prime ministers who took office after World War II.
Ishiba's tenure exceeded 384 days for former Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga.
