Ishibashi's cabinet
The Ishibashi cabinet ( Japanese 石橋 内閣 , Ishibashi naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Ishibashi Tanzan from December 23, 1956 to February 25, 1957.
After Hatoyama Ichirō's resignation, announced in November 1956 after his return from the Soviet Union , Ishibashi was only able to win the election as chairman of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in the runoff election against Kishi Nobusuke on December 14, 1954 and was supported by the LDP- Majority in Parliament elected Prime Minister on December 23rd. Ishibashi's formal appointment as prime minister took place in the morning of the same day, while the other ministers of state were not appointed until evening. In between, Ishibashi held all the other ministerial posts as a so-called hitori naikaku ( 一 人 内閣 , “one-person cabinet”).
The cabinet consisted of 14 ministers of state including the prime minister, all of whom came from the Shūgiin , the lower house of the national parliament. It was not until December 27 that two additional members of the Sangiin were appointed ministers.
At the end of January, Ishibashi had to leave the office to Kishi as provisional representative for health reasons. A few weeks later, the cabinet resigned as a whole. Unlike usual, Kishi was first elected Prime Minister on February 25, 1957 , and many ministers from the Ishibashi cabinet took over his first cabinet . It was not until March 1957 that Kishi was also elected LDP chairman.
