自民総裁選、9月29日軸 衆院解散の余地確保か

 自民党執行部は、首相の9月末の党総裁任期満了に伴う総裁選について、同17日告示、29日投開票とする案を軸に検討に入った。総裁公選規程が定める中で最も遅い日程で、9月5日の東京パラリンピック閉幕から一定の期間を確保し、首相が9月中の衆院解散に踏み切る余地をできるだけ広げる狙いがある。
 党幹部は4日、総裁選は9月29日投開票が有力と指摘。その理由について「首相の選択の幅が広がる」と語った。総裁選挙管理委員会が日程を決める今月26日に向け、党内の駆け引きが激しくなりそうだ。(2021/08/04-20:01)

LDP Execs Mulling Presidential Election on Sept. 29


Liberal Democratic Party executives are discussing a plan to hold the party's leadership election on Sept. 29, informed sources said Wednesday.
   The proposed date for the election is the latest allowed under the ruling party's presidential election rules, with Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga set to reach the end of his term as LDP president on Sept. 30. Under the proposal, the start of the official campaign period would be set for Sept. 17.
   LDP executives are considering the Sept. 29 plan, as the schedule would leave some time after the closing ceremony of the Tokyo Paralympics on Sept. 5, as well as allow time for Suga to dissolve the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of Japan's parliament, in September and call an election.
   A senior LDP official said that the presidential election will likely be held on Sept. 29, as the date "will broaden" Suga's options.
   Discussions within the party are expected to heat up ahead of Aug. 26, when the party's presidential election committee will decide the date of the event.
