Japanese lawmaker Akiko Oishi (C) from the anti-establishment party Reiwa Shinsengumi is asked to leave after holding up a placard in protest reading "Stop calling a snap election (dissolving parliament) to hide slush fund" after Shigeru Ishiba (not pictured) was selected as the new prime minister during an extraordinary session of the lower house of parliament in Tokyo on October 1, 2024. Shigeru Ishiba became Japanese prime minister on October 1, seeking to restore the ruling party's popularity and tackle a demographic crisis, a lacklustre economy and fears over China's military build-up.
