2015 Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) leadership election

A leadership election was scheduled to be held on 20 September 2015 to elect the next president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan for a new 3-year term. Incumbent president Shinzo Abe was running for re-election.

As no other candidates besides Abe received enough nominations to contest the position, Abe was declared re-elected on 8 September 2002 without a vote.
