Japanese PM drafts Shinjiro Koizumi, the son of ex-premier Junichiro Koizumi, in a broad cabinet reshuffle
Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe talks with his party's lawmaker Shinjiro Koizumi, son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, at the party lawmakers' meeting after the dissolution of the lower house was announced at the Parliament in Tokyo, Japan September 28, 2017.
Koizumi was one of 13 first-time ministers among 19 whose appointments were announced by Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga. It could also bolster Koizumi's chance of competing to succeed Abe when the prime minister's term as ruling Liberal Democratic Party chief ends in September 2021. Abe, although drafting more than a dozen new faces, retained his close allies, Finance Minister Taro Aso, 78, and Suga, 70. Both have served in their posts since Abe returned to office.
Abe kept veteran lawmaker Toshihiro Nikai, 80, as LDP secretary-general and Fumio Kishida - also considered a possible heir to the premier - as party policy chief.Several ministers are also seen as possible contenders to succeed Abe, includi ng his right-hand aide Suga. Another Abe ally and potential future premier, former health, labour, and welfare minister Katsunobu Kato, returned to his old post.
