Shinzo Abe in 2020

Shinzo Abe (安倍晋三 Abe Shinzoo; 21st September 1954 – 8th July 2022) was the Prime Minister of Japan and leader of the Liberal Democratic Party from 2012 to 2020 and 2006 to 2007.[1] His first premiership ended when various factors including low approval ratings, the failure to pass an anti-terrorism law and ill health led him to quit.[2] However, he went on to become the longest-serving Japanese prime minister in history.

Abe was assassinated in 2022 while campaigning for his party in Nara.[3]
