Japan PM arranging to reshuffle Cabinet, ruling party execs Sept. 16

TOKYO - Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is making arrangements to reshuffle her Cabinet and the executive lineup of her ruling Liberal Democratic Party as early as Sept. 16, government sources said Monday.

The move is likely aimed at giving the Takaichi administration time to prepare for an extraordinary parliamentary session that the government and the LDP-led ruling bloc plan to convene in early October, according to the sources.
