Japanese Prime Minister Candiate Yuriko Koike

By Editor • September 11, 2008

Ms. Koike, the former Japanese defense minister, who is incidentally, also a former television news presenter, is seeking to become Japan’s first female prime minister. Dressed in an ivory suit with matching pearls, she kicked off her campaign for the Liberal Democratic Party in Tokyo on September 10. The next day, she wore white and brown while delivering a speech for her party. I hope it doesn’t get too ugly for her.
