On November 11, local time, Japan convened a special parliament to hold a nomination election for the prime minister. In the first round of voting for the nomination election for the prime minister of the House of Representatives of Japan, all the candidates who received votes did not receive the required number of votes, and the voting will enter the runoff round. In this round of voting, the top two candidates were Ishiba Shigeru, president of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Yoshihiko Noda, leader of the largest opposition party, the Constitutional Democratic Party. The two will enter the runoff voting later. Earlier news, Japan's ruling coalition failed to obtain a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, and Ishiba Shigeru may become one of Japan's "shortest-lived" prime ministers. (Kim Ten)
