Japan PM Takaichi retains LDP executives in first reshuffle, prioritizing stability

Japanese PM Sanae Takaichi is expected to keep key LDP executives, including Taro Aso as vice-president and Shunichi Suzuki as secretary general, in her first reshuffle. This signals a continuity-focused approach ahead of a busy legislative session, deviating from typical reshuffle patterns that introduce new faces. The move suggests Takaichi prioritizes internal stability over factional renewal.
