Japanese PM Yasuo Fukuda decides to resign
TOKYO - Unpopular Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda resigned on Monday in an effort to break a political deadlock, becoming the second Japanese leader to resign abruptly in less than a year.
Fukuda has been struggling to cope with a divided parliament where the opposition parties control the upper house and can delay legislation, even as the world’s No.2 economy slips towards recession.
"If we are to prioritise the people’s livelihoods, there cannot be a political vacuum from political bargaining, or a lapse in policies. We need a new team to carry out policies," Fukuda said.
"Taking into consideration that the extraordinary session of parliament should go smoothly, I thought it would be better for someone else to do the job than me," Fukuda said.
Although Fukuda announced his decision hastily, some members of his cabinet have already predicted his resignation, according to　Professor Gao Hong from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.
