Japan's first female prime minister Sanae Takaichi leads the ruling party toward a landslide victory
Japan is bracing for a massive political shift as Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi prepares for a landslide victory.
The country’s first female leader has successfully revitalized the Liberal Democratic Party following a major financial scandal.
Known for her ultra-conservative views, Takaichi has gained a massive following through a savvy social media presence.
She famously drummed to K-pop hits with the South Korean president and secured an endorsement from Donald Trump.
Despite her historic role, she remains a staunch traditionalist who opposes allowing women to ascend the imperial throne.
Her policy platform includes controversial stances such as requiring married couples to share a single legal surname.
Young voters appear captivated by her "commoner" image and her refusal to act like a typical hereditary politician.
Sunday's election will determine if her "Sana-mania" cult of personality can translate into a permanent super-majority.
