官房長官に加藤厚労相 麻生財務相再任の方向―茂木外相、赤羽国交相続投・菅総裁

 自民党の総裁(官房長官)は15日、新内閣人事の焦点である官房長官に竹下派の厚生労働相(64)を起用する方針を固めた。外相(64)、国土交通相(62)は再任が固まり、副総理兼財務相(79)と五輪担当相(55)も再任の方向。二階派の広報本部長(75)、石原派の元総務副大臣(69)の初入閣も内定した。自民党・政府関係者が明らかにした。
 加藤氏の後任の厚労相には石破派の政調会長代理(55)を充てる案が有力。田村氏は厚労相経験があり、党で新型コロナウイルス対策の責任者を務めた。麻生派の防衛相(57)は総務相で調整。元外務副大臣(61)の防衛相起用が取り沙汰されている。
 事務方トップの杉田和博官房副長官(79)の続投も固まった。
 菅氏は15日、幹事長(81)を続投させるなど党4役人事を決めた。政調会長に細田派の選対委員長(66)、総務会長に麻生派の・衆院憲法審査会長(68)、選対委員長に竹下派の・党組織運動本部長(71)をそれぞれ起用。午後の臨時総務会で正式に決定した。
 二階派を率いる二階氏は総裁選でいち早く菅氏支持を打ち出し、圧勝の流れを主導した。細田、麻生、竹下の3派も菅氏を支援した。菅氏が二階氏を中心に4派の幹部を党運営の柱と位置付けた形だ。(2020/09/15-13:51)

New Japanese ruling party chief Yoshihide Suga, who is likely to become prime minister on Wednesday, plans to appoint health minister Katsunobu Kato, 64, as chief cabinet secretary, sources familiar with the matter said Tuesday.
   Suga, who was elected president of the Liberal Democratic Party on Monday, plans to keep Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi, 64, and land minister Kazuyoshi Akaba, 62, in their posts in his cabinet, according to the sources.
   Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Taro Aso, 79, and Seiko Hashimoto, 55, minister for the Tokyo Olympics and Paralympics, are also expected to be retained, the sources said.
   Katsuei Hirasawa, 75, a member of the LDP faction led by Secretary-General Toshihiro Nikai, and Tetsushi Sakamoto, 69, a member of the faction headed by former Secretary-General Nobuteru Ishihara, will be given a ministerial post for the first time, the sources said.
