Japan’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced Sunday he will step down as his Liberal Democratic Party slumps in the polls and critics blast his government over its “African Hometown” program seen as a backdoor scheme to enable mass migration from Africa to Japan.
Ishiba, who took office in October, had resisted resignation demands within his own party for more than a month, saying such a step would cause a political vacuum when Japan faces key challenges in and outside the country, AP reports.
His departure came one day before his party was to decide whether to hold an early leadership election, a barely disguised no-confidence motion against him if approved.
It also follows what is seen as an attempt by Ishiba, 68, to quietly open the borders of Japan to mass migration schemes, as Breitbart News reported.
