TOKYO, Oct. 27 (Xinhua) -- Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party endorsing a plan to allow its party presidents to extend their positions at the helm for three consecutive three-year terms will present a number of questionable issues pertinent to governance in Japan, with the general public predominantly opposed to the plan.
Under the current rules of the LDP, its president is theoretically allowed to serve two consecutive three-year terms, but the ruling party is looking to its convention next March to amend its rules, with the plan being revealed by LDP Vice President Masahiko Komura, who heads the party's political reform task force, on Wednesday.
Komura and his task force charged with reforming both party and, by virtue, the political system, unveiled the plan to a consortium of both LDP upper and lower house lawmakers, with none of them voicing their opposition to the move at this juncture, although, of particular note, the party's deliberations and decisions on the matter should involve the public's and local chapters' views and opinions, some LDP lawmakers advocated.
The LDP's policy chief, Toshimitsu Motegi, has said that the move will solidify the country's leadership and, as he put it, "create a more stable administration that is vital to increasing the international presence of Japan," which, as political observers maintain, translates to Prime Minister Shinzo Abe being able to guarantee his role as the party's president and, more pertinently, remain as prime minister beyond his current presidential term which is set to end in September 2018, but may now last until September 2021.
