首相在職、７日で田中角栄氏に並ぶ　８８６日、戦後９位―岸田政権

　岸田文雄首相の在職日数が７日で８８６日となり、戦後の首相では９位の田中角栄氏と並んだ。８位の橋本龍太郎氏（９３２日）に迫るが、７位の岸信介氏（１２４１日）にはなお１年弱が必要だ。自民党派閥の裏金事件を受けて政権は危機的な状況で、苦しい政権運営が続いている。
　首相は６日夜、首相官邸で記者団に、能登半島地震や政治の信頼回復、デフレ脱却を挙げ「積み重ねを大事に、これからも一つ一つ課題に臨んでいきたい」と語った。（2024/03/07-00:09）

Fumio Kishida tied with Kakuei Tanaka as the ninth-longest serving prime minister in Japan's post-World War II history, with Thursday marking his 886th day in office.
   If Kishida manages to stay in office until the end of his tenure as president of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party at the end of September, his run would reach 1,093 days, surpassing Ryutaro Hashimoto as the eighth-longest serving prime minister, who held office for 932 days.
   It is unclear whether Kishida will be re-elected as LDP president as he struggles with low public approval ratings amid criticism of the ruling party's high-profile political funds scandal.
   Some ruling and opposition party members speculate that Kishida may be considering calling a snap general election to coincide with three parliamentary by-elections in April or the end of the current parliamentary session in June.
   Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Kishida said he would "continue to tackle issues one by one, placing importance on accumulating efforts," referring to the challenges of recovering from the Noto Peninsula earthquake, regaining public trust in politics and overcoming deflation.
