The third Abe cabinet, which was reorganized for the second time ( Japanese 第 3 次 安 倍 第 2 次 改造 内閣 daisanji Abe dainiji kaizō naikaku ) ruled Japan under the leadership of Shinzō Abe from a cabinet reshuffle on August 3, 2016, which Abe carried out a few weeks after the 2016 Senate election until the cabinet was reshuffled again on August 3, 2017 . In the 2016 election, the governing parties LDP and Kōmeitō increased their majority, a few days later the LDP gained an independent Senate majority by joining for the first time since 1989 and thus holds majorities in both chambers of parliament, but the coalition continues to govern unchanged.
Eight ministers from the previous cabinet kept their portfolios, including Deputy Prime Minister Asō, Chief Cabinet Secretary Suga and Foreign Minister Kishida. Eight of the new cabinet members had never been ministers before. All ministers were MPs in the National Assembly : including the Prime Minister, 17 were from the House of Representatives and three from the Senate (including both senators from Wakayama Prefecture). When it took office, there were three women in the cabinet; With the resignation of Defense Minister Inada, there were ultimately two women.
Under this cabinet, two by-elections for the House of Representatives in the prefectures of Tokyo and Fukuoka took place on October 23, 2016.
