Takaichi reelected as Japan's prime minister with a goal of pushing to the right

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has been reappointed by Parliament after last week's landslide election win that gave her a strong public mandate. She will form her second Cabinet, with all previous ministers expected to be retained. Takaichi is now gearing up to work on policies she says are needed to make Japan stronger and more prosperous, using her governing Liberal Democratic Party’s two-thirds supermajority in the lower house. She hopes to bolster Japan’s military power, government spending, U.S. alliance and social conservatism.
