A special session of Japan's National Diet will convene on the 18th of this month, marking the selection of the Prime Minister following the recent House of Representatives elections. Sanae Takashi, who served as the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, is expected to be voted in as Japan's 105th Prime Minister later that afternoon. Following her reelection, she plans to immediately establish the Second Takashi Cabinet, with an emphasis on repealing the First Cabinet due to recent electoral successes that bolster her party's majority in action plans.

In line with her recent success in elections, Prime Minister Takashi is likely to adopt a strategy to reappoint most existing ministers to continue the momentum of leadership. A press conference is planned for the same evening where she will outline her new cabinet's priorities and governing strategy, further delivering remarks on the talent and experience of the ministers continuing into the new government.

The special session of the Diet is expected to last for 150 days and will include a policy speech scheduled for the 20th, where the Prime Minister intends to focus on driving economic growth through investment, alongside a roadmap for public and private sector investments in advanced technologies and growth industries to be unveiled in March. Following this, discussions regarding the initial budget proposal will take place in the House of Representatives Budget Committee, further stabilizing her cabinet's policy approach going forward.
