GR Japan is proud to host a very special IPF session on Friday 29 October, where we will discuss everything you need to know ahead of the House of Representatives Elections taking place on 31 October. What are the prospects for continued rule of the current government? Which direction is Japan likely to take, how will it impact the country’s international standing, and how could the results impact newly-elected PM Kishida’s ability to realise his policy agenda?

We will provide GR Japan’s analysis of the election prospects and possible impact on the government’s policy agenda. We also have the honor to host one of Japan’s most respected election analysts, Takuma Ohamazaki, president of the J.A.G Japan, who will present his latest predictions for the election based on IT and big data.

Jakob Edberg, President and CEO of GR Japan, and Mr. Ohamazaki will together analyse the election from a variety of angles including the economy, foreign affairs, health security, the environment, and energy initiatives.

Please join us in this exciting opportunity to hear from and discuss with two experts on Japanese politics.

This event is by invitation only.
