Yoshihiko Noda Becomes Japan's New Prime Minister

Japan's lower house of parliament has backed Yoshihiko Noda as the
country's sixth prime minister in five years.
.
The vote came after the 54-year-old former finance minister secured the
leadership of the ruling Democratic Party in a run-off on Monday.
.
Ex-PM Naoto Kan, criticised for his handling of the March quake, formally
resigned with his cabinet beforehand.
.
Correspondents say the new PM faces a daunting agenda, including trying to
unify a divided party.
.
The parliament's less powerful upper house, controlled by the opposition,
must also vote. However, if it rejects Mr Noda, the lower house will vote
a second time.
.
Large parts of Japan need to be rebuilt after March's earthquake and
tsunami, and the crisis at the crippled Fukushima nuclear power plant
still needs to be resolved.
.
Added to that, Mr Noda, a fiscal conservative, will need to address
Japan's stagnant economy.
.
He has said in the past that he favours raising funds through increased
taxation - including a doubling of Japan's sales tax, which currently
stands at 5% - to cut debt and meet social security commitments.
Unlike Mr Kan, he wants Japan's halted nuclear reactors to be restarted
and has not backed his call for a nuclear-free Japan.
.
"Let us sweat together for the sake of the people," he said after the
vote. "This is my heartfelt wish."
.
The DPJ won power in a general election in 2008, ending half a century of
almost unbroken rule by the Liberal Democratic Party.
.
But it lost control of the upper house in polls in 2010 and has struggled
to pass key legislation through parliament.
