Fumio Kishida Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

This week in Japanese politics and business, all eyes are on Fumio Kishida, who, despite stepping down as Prime Minister earlier this year, remains a critical power broker within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party or LDP. Leaders and candidates are flocking to Kishida as the party's presidential election approaches on October 4. According to The Jiji Press and Nation Thailand, Kishida, along with fellow party heavyweight Taro Aso, now holds significant sway over the votes of forty or so lawmakers formerly loyal to his faction.

While former agriculture minister Shinjiro Koizumi and former economic security minister Sanae Takaichi are seen as frontrunners, Kishida has remained publicly neutral.

The Japan Society of Northern California is awarding him the prestigious Award of Honor at its major gala next month, scheduled for October twenty-fourth in San Francisco. Kishida will be making a video appearance at this event as Former Prime Minister and a member of Japan’s House of Representatives. This is a testament to his enduring importance in U.S.-Japan relations and his wider reputation as a world statesman, even after his time in office, according to the Japan Society's official agenda.

Political analysts and Twitter users have been speculating about his next move, but so far there have been no bombshell comments or surprise posts from Kishida himself.

There are no confirmed reports recently of new business ventures from Kishida himself, nor has he been seen at public events in the last 24 hours. The Japanese press confirms he is not currently traveling or making any splashy public statements, but
