今年10月1日，石破茂当选日本第102任首相，上任8天后即宣布解散众议院，创下了战后首相当选后解散众议院的最快纪录。

10月27日，新一届众议院选举进行投计票，由自民党和公明党组成的执政联盟失利，未能获得新一届众议院过半席位。根据日本宪法规定，众议院选举举行后的30天内，必须召集特别国会，进行首相指名选举。

当地时间11月11日，日本政府召开内阁会议，石破茂内阁集体辞职。当天，日本召开特别国会，进行首相指名选举。石破茂在日本众议院首相指名选举第二轮投票中胜出，成为日本第103任首相。

Leader of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) Shigeru Ishiba was reelected as the country's prime minister on Monday after securing the most votes in both houses of the Japanese Diet.

The Diet, or parliament, convened an extraordinary session Monday afternoon to choose the prime minister. As the ruling coalition of the LDP and Komeito lost its long-held majority in the general election last month, the vote ran into a runoff between Ishiba and major opposition Constitutional Democratic Party leader Yoshihiko Noda.

In the runoff voting in the House of Representatives, 67-year-old Ishiba received 221 votes, outperforming Noda to become the country's 103rd prime minister despite falling short of the 233 majority threshold.

He will later be formally inaugurated at a ceremony at the Imperial Palace and hold a press conference in the evening.

Ishiba took office as the country's 102nd prime minister in early October and promptly called a snap election, aiming to solidify his position. But instead of a strengthened mandate, he faced a significant setback as voters, frustrated by rising inflation and a slush fund scandal, handed the ruling bloc its worst performance since 2009.

The LDP and Komeito got a total of 215 of the 465 seats in the powerful chamber of parliament, below the 233 seats needed for the majority. The LDP alone won 191 seats, much less than the 247 seats it held prior to the election.

In contrast, the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party significantly increased its representation, rising from 98 seats before the election to 148 seats.
