Japan urgently needs a worthy successor after Fukuda's resignation
He had hoped to outlive his hapless predecessor, Shinzo Abe. But fate had other things in mind. After staying in office for less than a year, Yasuo Fukuda resigned from the office of Japanese PM on September 1, 2008. An organisational man by nature, Fukuda never managed to get full support from his own party members. And the loss of control of the upper house of Japanese parliament made it almost impossible for him to get through any kind of reforms. And it was his failure to do much on the reform front that made matters worse for him. A cabinet reshuffle last month could have been used by Fukuda to include people with a clear idea of what needed to be done, but he did not. During the same reshuffle, there were signs that Fukuda is being pushed to the extreme. The party elders showed their support to Taro Aso, who is now expected to succeed Fukuda as the next Prime Minister.
Often known for his colourless and laidback attitude, Fukuda was finally forced to resign. His resignation is the second in a row after Abe and he is the third to do so without holding general elections.
