第２次岸田内閣、１０日発足　特別国会で首相選出

　第２０６特別国会が１０日に召集され、岸田文雄首相（６４）を第１０１代首相に選出する。首相は直ちに組閣を行い、同日中に第２次岸田内閣が発足する。首相は現金給付を含む経済対策、新型コロナウイルス感染再拡大への備えなどに全力を挙げ、来年夏の参院選に向けた実績づくりを急ぐ。
　自民党が１０月の衆院選で絶対安定多数の２６１議席を獲得したことを受け、首相は９日の党役員会で「大変に大きな成果だ。国民の信託を胸に、引き続き努力していきたい」と強調。「新型コロナ対策、経済対策、外交・安全保障などの政策をスピード感をもって実行していく」と語った。（2021/11/09-16:33）

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, revitalized by a general election victory, will be re-elected at a special session of the Diet, Japan's parliament, and launch his second cabinet on Wednesday.
   Kishida, 64, is eager to make all-out efforts to introduce an economic stimulus package, including a cash handout program, and prepare for a possible resurgence of the novel coronavirus to produce results ahead of next summer's election for the House of Councillors, the upper chamber of the Diet.
   "It was a very significant achievement" that the ruling Liberal Democratic Party maintained a so-called absolute stable majority by winning 261 seats in the Oct. 31 election for the House of Representatives, the all-important lower chamber, Kishida, also LDP president, said at a meeting of LDP executives on Tuesday.
   "We want to continue making efforts while keeping in mind that we've received a mandate from the public," added Kishida, who called the election only days after taking office in early October.
   For his second cabinet, Kishida plans to appoint former education minister Yoshimasa Hayashi as foreign minister. Kishida has been concurrently serving as foreign minister since Toshimitsu Motegi left the post to become LDP secretary-general right after the Lower House election.
