Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party is set to choose between former defence minister Shigeru Ishiba and hawkish Sanae Takaichi as the next prime minister. The winner will address regional security threats and economic challenges. Current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida is not seeking re-election, and the new leader will likely call a snap election.
