Japan set to elect female prime minister in landmark first
Over the last two decades, the country has seen more than 10 prime ministers.
In fact, one expert likens assuming the nation's top job to taking a "poisoned chalice".
But why does Japan frequently replace prime ministers? This is partly because of it being a "one-party democracy", explains Professor James Brown of Temple University Japan.
The Liberal Democratic Party's control on the country's politics means the main political competition comes from within the party, rather than from external parties.
"So within the LDP there are intense conflicts within various groups - they all want their own faction to secure the top job."
"Thus although you could be selected as prime minister, as soon as you're in power, you have many individuals manoeuvring to try to remove you again."
Main Reasons Behind Frequent Changes
- One-party dominance restricts external competition
- Internal factional rivalries fuel leadership contests
- The prime minister's position is often described as a "cursed position"
- Political stability remains elusive despite financial power
