Explained: How will Japan's ruling party pick the next prime minister?
Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party will elect a new president on Friday to replace outgoing Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. The winner, chosen from nine candidates, will become the next prime minister due to the party's parliamentary majority. A run-off poll will be held if no candidate secures a simple majority in the first round.
