Japan's political landscape is primarily dominated by the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has been in power for most of the post-World War II era. The head of government is the Prime Minister, who is elected by the National Diet, Japan's bicameral legislature. The current Prime Minister, as of 2023, is Fumio Kishida, who has focused on economic recovery and national security. In addition to the LDP, other political parties like the Constitutional Democratic Party and the Japanese Communist Party play significant roles in the political system. Political figures in Japan often engage in diplomacy, economic policy, and social issues, reflecting the country's unique blend of tradition and modernity.
