林氏、3日に出馬会見 4人目の表明―自民総裁選

 自民党の林芳正官房長官(63)は2日、党総裁選(12日告示、27日投開票)への立候補を表明する記者会見を、3日午後2時半に行うと発表した。2012年以来2回目の挑戦。10人超の名前が取り沙汰される乱立模様の中、正式表明は4人目となる。
 林氏は、岸田文雄首相が率いた岸田派でナンバー2の座長を務めた。防衛相、外相などを歴任し、幅広い政策分野に精通。23年12月から官房長官として政府のスポークスマン役を担うが、世論調査の「ポスト岸田」候補としての支持は低迷している。発信力と知名度の向上が課題となる。(2024/09/02-12:07)

Hayashi to Declare LDP Leadership Bid Tues.


Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said Monday that he will hold a press conference on Tuesday to announce his candidacy for the Sept. 27 presidential election of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
   This will be his second attempt to lead the LDP following his failed bid in 2012.
   Hayashi, 63, will become the fourth LDP member to officially declare a bid for the party presidency. Over 10 names have been floated as potential candidates for the race.
   He had been the second highest-ranking member of the LDP faction formerly led by Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.
   Hayashi served in government posts such as defense and foreign ministers before becoming chief cabinet secretary under Kishida in December last year.
