Japanese fortune-telling: Maehara Seiji becomes a popular candidate

ECNS, August 26 -- Only 3 days are left before the birth of the new prime minister of Japan. Who will replace Naoto Kan is still unclear. According to the news from Japanese News Network, many important members of the Democratic Party have proposed to run for the premiership. So far, 9 democratic party members have expressed their intention to participate in the election for the prime minister. The most popular candidates are not only Masahiko Komura but also Yoshihiko Noda, Minister of Finance and Banri Kaieda, Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry. Although Ichiro Ozaki is one of the "three major powers" of the Democratic Party and considered as a powerful person, more Japanese citizens seem to favor Seiji Maehara who is less than 50 years old this year. This handsome and elegant former Minister for Foreign Affairs has occupied the first place in the "Most Suitable Politician to be the Prime Minister" several times.
