The most important thing is to avoid causing stagnation in national politics, and we must fulfill our responsibilities to the country and its people, he said, expressing his intention to continue in office.
また、森山幹事長ら執行部も続投させ、衆参両院で少数与党となる中、政策ごとに野党との合意形成を図っていく考えを示しました。
He also indicated that Secretary-General Moriyama and other executive members will remain in their positions, and that, as the ruling party with a minority in both the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors, they will seek to build consensus with opposition parties on each policy.
ただ、党内では青山繁晴参議院議員が、レームダックの政権にアメリカとの関税交渉はできないとして石破総理大臣の辞任を求めたほか、党の高知県連が選挙で示された民意に添って、近く党本部に総裁の早期退陣を申し入れることを決めるなど、責任を問う声が出ています。
However, within the party, there are voices demanding accountability, such as Senator Shigeharu Aoyama calling for Prime Minister Ishibas resignation, arguing that a lame-duck administration cannot negotiate tariffs with the United States, and the Kochi Prefectural branch of the party deciding to soon request the party headquarters for the early resignation of the party president in accordance with the will of the people shown in the recent election.
一方で、小林・元経済安全保障担当大臣は「石破総理には、党のトップとして責任を受け止めてほしいが、党内で足の引っぱり合いをしていたら政治は持たない。
On the other hand, former Economic Security Minister Kobayashi said, I want Prime Minister Ishiba to take responsibility as the head of the party, but if we keep dragging each other down within the party, politics wont last.
党の

体制をつくれるかだ」と
述べました。
It’s about whether we can build a system for the party’s revival, he said.
執行部は、来週31日に両院議員懇談会を開催して、関税交渉が続いていることなどを説明し、石破総理大臣の続投に理解を求めたい考えで、党の結束を図れるかが課題となります。
The executive office plans to hold a joint meeting of both houses members on the 31st next week to explain that tariff negotiations are ongoing and to seek understanding for Prime Minister Ishibas continuation in office. The challenge will be whether they can achieve party unity.
