Japan's ruling party elects former defense minister Ishiba as new PM

Former defense minister Shigeru Ishiba will become Japan's next prime minister after winning the ruling party's leadership vote, the official count shows. Ishiba, 67, beat arch-nationalist Sanae Takaichi -- who would have been the country's first ever woman leader -- in a run-off. After his victory was announced at the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) headquarters in Tokyo, Ishiba smiled and took off his glasses to wipe his teary eyes, bowing repeatedly as his associates congratulated him.
