Shinzo Abe apparently got a head start in the race to succeed Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi, even before being named to his first Cabinet post. "Abe is in the lead. Koizumi is likely leaning toward Abe as his successor," an official of ruling coalition partner New Komeito said. Most political insiders said the selection of Abe as chief Cabinet secretary makes him the front-runner to take over as Liberal Democratic Party president and, therefore, prime minister next year.
