JAPAN’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) will vote on Sept. 14 to select a new leader to succeed Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Jiji news agency reported on Monday.
Abe, Japan’s longest-serving premier, said on Friday he was resigning due to worsening of a chronic illness, paving the way for an LDP leadership election.
