TOKYO (Sputnik) - The Japanese government has resigned entirely, the Kyodo news agency reported, including Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and his cabinet.
Kishida's resignation was announced in August and takes effect on Tuesday. Chief Cabinet Secretary Toshimasa Hayashi announced and is designed to make room for the incoming prime minister and his cabinet.
Later on Tuesday, both houses of the Japanese National Diet (the country's parliament) will vote on the candidacy of the prime minister. The head of government is chosen by a majority of votes from candidates submitted by parties. As a rule, these are the leaders of the parties. Thus, the head of the party with the most seats in the National Diet becomes the prime minister.

Since the ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition member the Komeito Party hold a majority in both houses of the National Diet, Shigeru Ishiba, who won the election for the chairman of the LDP last week, is expected to become the 102nd prime minister of Japan. He will later form a new cabinet, which will be approved by the Emperor Naruhito of Japan that evening.
On October 4, the head of the cabinet and key ministers will deliver policy speeches to both houses of the parliament. Debates will be held from October 7, during which lawmakers will ask questions to members of the new cabinet. Moreover, the dissolution of the key lower house of parliament is expected on October 9, and early general elections are expected on October 27.
