TOKYO — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's son will resign as his aide, the premier said on Monday (May 29), after photos of the son and other relatives apparently pretending to hold a news conference at the official residence sparked an uproar.
Mr Kishida told reporters that his son, Shotaro Kishida, would step down as his secretary from Thursday, saying the change was due to"inappropriate" behaviour at the official residence.
"His behaviour at a public space was inappropriate as someone who is in an official position as political aide. I've decided to replace him for accountability," Mr Kishida said.
