Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has decided to resign to avoid a split within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, NHK reported.<\/p>\n

With Ishiba at the helm, the LDP-led ruling coalition has lost its majority in elections for both houses of parliament since coming to power last year, amid voter anger over rising living costs.<\/p>\n

The Prime Minister’s Office did not make further comments.<\/p>\n

The loss had added pressure on the leader since October last year.<\/p>\n

The announcement on Sunday came just weeks after the 68-year-old leader had denied the media reports that he would resign after the party lost the upper house election.<\/p>\n

LDP lawmakers are scheduled to vote on Monday on whether to hold an extraordinary leadership election. Ishiba’s government finalised details of a trade deal with the United States last week.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
