Japan PM expected to overhaul scandal-plagued cabinet today

Japanese PM Fumio Kishida is expected to announce a cabinet shake-up amid a fundraising scandal that has damaged his administration. The Chief Cabinet Secretary, Hirokazu Matsuno, is among those to be removed. Several ministers and deputy ministers are expected to go as prosecutors investigate missing fundraising proceeds. The opposition party may call a no-confidence motion, but it is likely to fail due to the ruling party's majority. Kishida's support has plummeted, and there are doubts about his leadership. The LDP is set to hold leadership elections in September.
