Then, if he passes a vote at the plenary session of the upper house, Ishiba will be confirmed as Japan's 102nd prime minister.
The LDP, along with the Komeito Party, holds a majority of seats in both the lower and upper chambers, so Ishiba is expected to be elected as the new prime minister without any unexpected changes.
Once the prime minister's election is completed, Chief Cabinet Secretary Hayashi Yoshimasa, a spokesman for the Japanese government, will announce a list of Ishiba's cabinet ministers and the cabinet will officially be launched later.
