For the first time in the history of Japan, a woman became the prime minister.
Mrs. “Sanai Takashi” was able to get the majority of the votes of the members of the parliament to become the prime minister. He then went to the emperor’s palace and met with Naruhito and received the order of prime minister.
Japan is known as a patriarchal country, and a woman reaching the highest executive position in the country is an important and unusual event.
The media have described this Japanese politician as “right-wing”, “conservative” and “radical”.
Mrs. “Sanai Takashi” was introduced as the first female Prime Minister of Japan
He pledged to form a cabinet with more women, similar to Scandinavian countries. The countries of Northern Europe (Scandinavia) are known for the large number of women in various scenes, including in the cabinet.
The former Japanese cabinet had only 2 women ministers.
۶۴-year-old Takaishi was able to get 237 votes in the first round of voting in the Japanese Parliament, which was more than the minimum required of 233 votes. Japan’s parliament has 465 seats and women hold only 15% of the seats.
It is expected that in the next government, the Ministry of Economy will be headed by a female minister (Satsuki Katayama, the former Minister of Regional Activation).
The moment of the announcement of the positive vote of the majority of the Japanese Parliament to the Prime Ministership of Sanai Takashi as the country’s first female Prime Minister
Japan ranks a lowly 118 out of 148 countries on the gender gap ranking list.
Takaishi is also in favor of the option that the succession of the Japanese emperor is limited to men only and women are left out of this issue.
Before this, he was able to get the leadership of the right-wing conservative party “Liberal Democrat”.
He is facing various challenges such as rising prices and declining birth rates in his country. Activating economic growth in the world’s fourth economy is also one of his responsibilities.
Mrs. Sanai Takashi was a minister in the cabinet of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
