    Who might the LDP woo once it elects its next president?

    Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba’s decision to resign has opened the door for any number of possible successors to replace him.Whoever wins the LDP presidential election on Oct. 4 will need to secure cooperation from the opposition to be elected prime minister. The newly elected prime minister will still be in charge of a minority government and forced to work with at least one major opposition party to pass legislation.The LDP and its coalition partner, Komeito, hold 221 seats in the 465-seat Lower House — 12 seats shy of a majority. In the less-powerful Upper House, on the other hand, the two parties need only three seats for a majority.
