Japan PM Shigeru Ishiba To Resign To Avoid Split In Ruling Party: Report | Read
Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has decided to resign to avoid a split within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, public broadcaster NHK said on Sunday.
The Prime Minister's Office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
With Ishiba at the helm, the LDP-led coalition has lost its majority in elections for both houses of parliament since coming to power last year, amid voter anger over rising living costs.
