Regarding personnel appointments, Takaichi emphasized that she will gather the power of "all (LDP) members and all generations," including her four rivals in the party leadership election. "It won't affect my personnel appointments," she said. Takaichi said she plans to finalize party executive appointments as soon as possible in the week from Sunday. In seeking to expand the ruling coalition, the new LDP leader stressed the need for policy alignment regarding constitutional reform, diplomacy, security and fiscal policy. Meanwhile, Takaichi said she will "make an appropriate decision" on whether to visit the war-related Yasukuni Shrine during her tenure.
