The ongoing "tribute" scandal involving the Fukuoka Prefectural branch of Japan's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has intensified, leading to the resignation of key figure Isao Zounouchi 1. Zounouchi announced his resignation as the speaker of the Fukuoka Prefectural Assembly and as a prefectural assembly member on the 25th, with the departure taking effect on the same day 1.

In January 2024, Fumio Kishida dissolved the Kishida faction, prompting the dissolution of other factions including the Abe and Nikai factions 1. On August 14, 2024, Kishida announced that he would not participate in the LDP presidential election scheduled for September of that year 1. On October 27, 2024, the ruling coalition of the LDP and Komeito failed to secure a majority of seats in the House of Representatives election 1. On July 20, 2025, the ruling coalition lost its majority of seats in the House of Councillors 1. On September 7, 2025, Shigeru Ishiba announced his resignation as LDP president 1.
