Kenta Izumi assumed the position of President of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan after being elected to the position on 30 November 2021; the election was triggered by the resignation of Yukio Edano following the party's poorer-than-expected performance during the 2021 general election. As part of his leadership, Izumi opted to revive the Next Cabinet, appointing his shadow cabinet on 13 September 2022.[1][2] He later reshuffled his cabinet once on 26 January 2024.[3]
