Fourth Abe Cabinet

The Fourth Abe Cabinet governed Japan under the leadership of Prime Minister Shinzō Abe from November 2017 to September 2020. The government is a coalition between the Liberal Democratic Party and the Komeito (which had changed its name from "New Komeito" in the 2012–2014 term) and controls both the upper and lower houses of the National Diet.

Following his resignation, the Fourth Abe cabinet was dissolved on September 16, 2020, and replaced with the Suga cabinet.

According to research by Nikkan Gendai, 10 out of 20 members in the Fourth Abe Cabinet had connections to the Unification Church. These connections were largely not reported by Japanese media at the time.
