Tokyo: Prime Minister Taro Aso’s cabinet resigned en masse today, paving the way for the launch of a centre-left government that ends the long conservative rule of Japan, a government official said.
Aso convened the cabinet for a brief meeting at which all of the ministers resigned, the official said.
The new centre-left government is due to take power later today in a fresh start for Asia’s top economy, which has been under conservative rule for almost all of the post-war era.
Yukio Hatoyama, head of the Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ), was to be voted in as prime minister two and a half weeks after his party’s stunning election victory changed the country’s political landscape.
