“Abe intends to resign as his illness has worsened and he worries it will cause trouble” in leading the country, national broadcaster NHK said, without citing a source.

Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is to resign over health problems, local media reported Friday, in a bombshell development that will end a record-setting tenure with no clear successor yet in place.

There was no quick affirmation of the reports, which came hours before Abe was given a question and answer session to address theory about his wellbeing.

The unforeseen news sent Tokyo stocks plunging in excess of two percent, with the benchmark Nikkei 225 record switching prior increases.

Gossipy tidbits about Abe’s conceivable abdication had strengthened after two ongoing shock emergency clinic visits for vague clinical checks, however, as of late, senior government authorities had recommended he would serve out the remainder of the residual year in office.

The renunciation would be a harshly recognizable situation for Abe, who ventured down only one year into his first term, in 2007, over medical issues.

He was consequently determined to have ulcerative colitis, which he said upon coming back to the office in 2012 was leveled out with the assistance of new medicine.

The acquiescence, whenever affirmed, will come in spite of the demand of government representative Yoshihide Suga on Friday morning that Abe stayed healthy.

“I see him consistently and feel that there is no adjustment in his condition,” Suga told columnists at a customary question and answer session.

Furthermore, on Thursday, Suga disclosed to Bloomberg News that Abe would “obviously” have the option to serve out the remainder of his term, which closes September 2021.

“He’ll be OK,” he said.

Yet, the medical issues seem to have heaped on the weight for Abe, who this week broke the record for the longest continuous spell in office in Japanese history.

Notwithstanding the generally contained effect of the coronavirus in Japan, Abe’s administration has been intensely scrutinized for its way to deal with the emergency, including a U-turn on improvement installments and a much-ridiculed choice to give every family unit two fabric face veils.

The PM has additionally observed his mark “Abenomics” financial approach go under expanding strain, with the nation previously drooping into a downturn even before the coronavirus emergency hit.

In any case, specialists had said there was little hunger inside the decision Liberal Democratic Party for Abe to withdraw early, particularly as there is no agreement yet on his replacement.

What’s more, with Japan’s divided restriction so far incapable to exploit the administration’s falling endorsement appraisals, there had given off an impression of being a minimal quick weight on him to step down.

An unexpected renunciation opens up different prospects, including that either agent executive Taro Aso – who likewise fills in as money serve – or boss bureau secretary Yoshihide Suga would expect the workplace in a guardian limit.

Both Aso and Suga, just as a few previous and current bureau individuals have been proposed as possible replacements.
