The Second Kishida Cabinet is the 101st Cabinet of Japan and was formed in November 2021 by Fumio Kishida, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party and Prime Minister of Japan.

The government is a coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito and controls both the upper and lower houses of the National Diet. It is the successor to Kishida's previous cabinet.

Background

After Fumio Kishida called for a general election and won a supermajority on 31 October 2021, he was re-elected as the prime minister at a special session of the National Diet on 10 November 2021. As his first cabinet only served 37 days, the shortest term in history, Kishida reappointed nearly all of the ministers from the previous cabinet following re-election.[1][2]

On 10 August 2022, the cabinet was reshuffled. 7 MPs with ties to the Unification Church (UC) were dismissed following the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and increasing media scrutiny of LDP officials' close ties with the church.[3][4] On 20 August it was reported that 23 officials including 8 MPs in the new reshuffled cabinet have existing connections to the UC.[5][6][7]
