Shigeru Ishiba has been re-elected as Japan's Prime Minister after winning a parliamentary run-off, despite his party's recent election setback where they lost their majority in the lower house. Ishiba, who succeeded Fumio Kishida, faces challenges including internal party hostilities, economic issues, and navigating a minority government. His leadership comes amid scrutiny over political scandals and economic difficulties, as well as potential foreign policy challenges with the US under Donald Trump's presidency.
