What’s ahead for Shinzo Abe?Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will hold a news meet on Friday amid growing concerns about his health.
He’s been to hospital twice in a week, fanning speculation whether he will be able to continue till his term ends in September 2021.
On Mon-day, Abe broke a record for longest consecutive tenure as prem-ier, set by his great-uncle Eisaku Sato. On Friday, he is expected to talk about his health and the pandemic.
Japan’s outbreak has been relatively small, but a recent rise in cases has led to critic-ism that Abe has favoured economy over health.
