TOKYO (Reuters) - With Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announcing his resignation, attention turns to who will next steer the world's fourth-largest economy.
The process to pick Japan's next leader is more complicated than before as Ishiba's Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan for most of the post-war period, and its junior coalition partner lost their majorities in both houses of parliament during his tenure.
