Japan PM, Shinzo Abe, To Resign Prematurely Due To Health Issues

[RAMROD 117,008]

Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan will resign because of ill health, the country’s national broadcaster reported on Friday, just four days after he exceeded the record for the longest consecutive run as leader in Japanese history.

The Japanese news media had been speculating about Mr. Abe’s health for weeks, particularly after he significantly dialed back public appearances as a new wave of coronavirus infections erupted in clusters throughout the country. When Mr. Abe visited a hospital twice in the span of a week, the rumor mill went into overdrive.

Mr. Abe, who was in office when Tokyo won its bid to host the 2020 Summer Olympics, resigned before he could preside over the Games, which were postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

By the time of his resignation, Mr. Abe was a hugely unpopular leader whose disapproval ratings had risen to their highest level since he began his second term.

The public was dissatisfied with his administration’s handling of the coronavirus, particularly its effects on the economy, which erased what achievements he could claim under his economic platform, known as “Abenomics.”
