Sanae Takaichi: A Historic Appointment
Sanae Takaichi has become the first woman to hold the post of Prime Minister in Japanese history.
Her Cabinet includes several rivals from the presidential campaign, a move aimed at smoothing over differences and considered a smart strategy.
Takaichi's rise to the top job followed her victory in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership race and subsequent coalition-building with the Japan Innovation Party (JIP) and independent politicians, securing a majority in both houses of parliament.
Her accomplishments deserve applause, but there is no time to rest on her laurels.
Despite the historic achievement, Takaichi faced significant challenges in claiming the prime minister's office, unlike previous LDP presidents.
