Japan's ruling party secretary general likely to stay on in execs reshuffle

Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is likely to retain Shunichi Suzuki as secretary general of her Liberal Democratic Party in a leadership reshuffle expected later this month, government sources said Wednesday.

By reappointing Suzuki, former Prime Minister Taro Aso's brother-in-law, to the key post, Takaichi could continue to secure the support of Aso, who remains influential within the party.
