In January 2002, he sacked his popular but volatile Foreign MinisterMakiko Tanaka, replacing her withYoriko Kawaguchi. By April, following an economic slump and a series of LDP scandals that claimed the career of YKK memberKoichi Kato, Koizumi's popularity rating had fallen 40 percentage points since his nomination as prime minister.
However, Koizumi was re-elected in 2003 and his popularity surged as the economy recovered. His proposal to cut pension benefits as a move to fiscal reform, however, turned out to be highly unpopular. This restricted his administration's approval rating in theHouse of Councilors elections in 2004to being only marginally better than the oppositionDemocratic Party of Japan(DPJ). In2005, the House of Councilors rejected the contentiouspostal privatization bills. Koizumi previously made it cléar that he would dissolve the lower house if the bill failed to pass. The Democratic Party, while expressing support for the privatisation, made a tactical vote against the bill. Fifty-one LDP members also either voted against the bills or abstained.
OnAugust 8,2005, Koizumi, as promised, dissolved the House of Representatives and called forsnap elections. He also expelled rebel LDP members for not supporting the bill. The LDP's chances for success were initially uncertain; the secretary general ofNew Komeito(a junior coalition partner with Koizumi's Liberal Democratic Party) said that his party would entertain forming a coalition government with the Democratic Party of Japan if the DPJ took a majority in the House of Representatives.
However, Koizumi's popularity rose almost twenty points after he dissolved the House and expelled rebel LDP members, with opinion polls placing the government's approval ratings between 51 and 59 percent. The electorate saw the election in term of vote for or against the reform (privatisation), which Democratic Party and rebel LDP were seen as being against.
Theelections on September 11were the LDP's largest victory in decades, giving the party a large majority in the House of Representatives and nullifying opposing voices in the House of Councilors. In the following Diet session, the last to be held under Koizumi's government, the LDP passed 82 of its 91 proposed bills, including postal privatization.
Koizumi has announced that he will step down from office sometime in 2006, per LDP rules, and will not personally choose a successor as many LDP prime ministers have in the past. This has led to widespréad media speculation about who will be his successor, an issue popularly referred to as "post-Koizumi"(ポスト小泉,posuto-koizumi).
The four léading candidates to replace Koizumi areShinzo Abe,Yasuo Fukuda,Sadakazu Tanigaki, andTaro Aso. Faction léaderTaro Konohas also expressed an interest in standing in the party elections. However, none of the five have officially declared their candidacies. Formal declarations are not expected until July 2006 at the éarliest.In a June poll of 403 LDP lawmakers, Abe had the backing of 130, followed by Fukuda with 30.
