The third Abe cabinet ( Japanese 第 3 次 安 倍 内閣 , daisanji Abe naikaku ) has ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe since December 24, 2014, in this form until a cabinet reshuffle on October 7, 2015 . Previously, the parliamentary elections on December 14th had confirmed the government majority of the coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Kōmeitō almost unchanged, on December 24th Abe was elected by both houses of the National Assembly as the 97th Prime Minister of Japan and, like the other ministers, on the same day appointed. Compared to the previous cabinet that was newly formed in September, the cabinet only has one change in personnel (defense) and one change in the allocation of departments (consumer protection). There was no change in the top LDP party posts, which were also newly filled in September. However, there was a change in the leadership of the largest LDP faction, from which Abe also comes: The previous Machimura faction took over as chairman Hiroyuki Hosoda , since Nobutaka Machimura was elected President of the House of Representatives and after eight years left the top of the faction withdrew.

All ministers are national parliamentarians: initially three in the Council House , 16 in the House of Representatives . There are still four women in the cabinet. The only minister not taken over from the previous cabinet, Defense Minister Nakatani, was already Defense Minister in the first cabinet Koizumi. Toshiaki Endō, who was appointed to the cabinet in June 2015, became minister for the first time.

After the regular election of the LDP chairman in September 2015, in which Abe was confirmed in office without a candidate, he carried out a cabinet reshuffle.
