LDP's leadership race; Shinzo Abe won


As was widely expected, it was a clean sweep for Abe. He garnered about 66% of the votes. But according to a news article, his campaign office aimed to have over 70%. Hmm... it means Aso and Tanigaki made better fight than expected?

Abe's wife who will become the first lady appeared in a TV program. She looks very young!

There is no surprising in the result of the election, of course. I focus on Abe's Cabinet that will be established on the 26th.

By the way, newspapers overseas call him a nationalist. I wonder why. I don't think so though.
