In view of the spread of the new crown epidemic and the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, Kishida described the current domestic and international situation as "the most difficult situation after the war" and called on the ruling party to unite. What can be seen from this is that in view of the shooting death of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, Kishida is wary of the alienation between the Abe faction and conservatives.

The promotion of acting general affairs chairman Yu Moriyama of the non-mainstream faction as chairman of the election countermeasures committee, and the appointment of Taro Kono, head of the public relations department who was a rival in last year's presidential election, as digital minister, seem to be intended to gain broad support within the party and ensure dominance in the presidential election.
