TOKYO - Prime Minister Shinzo Abe became Japan’s longest-serving premier on Wednesday, a remarkable feat for a leader who once quit in humiliation, but the day was marred by questions about possible election law violations and worries about the economy.
Pointing to such challenges as Japan’s ageing population and constitutional revision - a divisive topic - Abe vowed to push ahead in the last two years of his term as Liberal Democratic Party leader, which ends in September 2021. Wednesday marked Abe’s 2,887th day in office over his two stints as prime minister. That broke the record set by Taro Katsura more than a century ago.
But since a cabinet reshuffle in September, two ministers - both close allies of Abe - have resigned over allegations of election campaign law violations.
