Looks like Sanae will be confirmed and officially become Prime Minister after a parliamentary session on October 14th. Source: Washington Post

@No_uh I thought the 14th was for the final vote on her confirmation?

@Chumchulum Yes, that's correct. I think we are saying the same thing.

My point was just to give a date for when Ishiba will officially no longer be Prime Minister now for the purposes of this market (14th of this month).

bought Ṁ3 YES

@sointex we need a ruling on whether Ishiba is resigned or not already (I think that it would be cleaner to say that he has)

@JoshuaWilkes I'll check in the morning. As far as I've read, he has voiced that he is ready to step down, but will still BE prime minister until an election is held.

@JoshuaWilkes OK. So according to this NHK article/video, the LDP will be deciding today (Mon. 9/8) on whether or when to hold a special election, so it is my understanding that Ishiba will serve as prime minister until a new one is elected despite his INTENTION to resign early. If anyone has information to prove otherwise, please let me know.
