Summary
Sept. 16 is the target date Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is considering for a Cabinet reshuffle and changes to the Liberal Democratic Party executive lineup, government sources said.
The overhaul is aimed at giving her administration time to prepare for an extraordinary parliamentary session that the government and ruling bloc plan to convene in early October.
Takaichi is also expected to skip the Sept. 19 opening ceremony of the Aichi-Nagoya Asian Games, a scheduling detail that underscores the political focus of the coming weeks.
