The Japan Innovation Party, known as Ishin, broadly agreed to form a coalition government with the ruling Liberal Democratic Party(LDP). The Japan Innovation Party said it is ready to ally with the LDP, guaranteeing its new hardline conservative leader, Sanae Takaichi, will become the country’s first female prime minister when parliament picks a new premier tomorrow.

 

 

Ishin leader and Osaka Governor Hirofumi Yoshimura said that politics should be about taking risks when necessary to open up new paths. Formed in 2010, Ishin shares Takaichi’s hardline stance on national security and immigration. The moderate Komeito party quit its 26-year-old coalition with the LDP after Takaichi became leader this month.
