According to a report by Kyodo News on August 17, Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa revealed on the social platform "X" (formerly Twitter) that she had informed Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of her intention to run in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential election in September. She posted that "after noon, I informed the Prime Minister of my determination." Yoko Kamikawa is a member of the "Kishida faction" led by Kishida.

According to Japanese news network, 71-year-old Yoko told reporters at the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs building on August 15, "I am ready to carefully consider and decide what I should do, and take appropriate actions." The report said this implied that she would seek to run for the presidency of the Liberal Democratic Party.

It is reported that other Japanese cabinet members have also expressed their intention to run for election. They must obtain the support of 20 LDP members to run, so they hope to express their intention as soon as possible to expand their support rate.

As the support rate of the Kishida Cabinet continues to be low, Japanese Prime Minister and current LDP President Fumio Kishida announced on August 14 that he would not participate in the LDP presidential election in September. This means that the new president elected by the LDP in September will replace Fumio Kishida as prime minister.
