Kenta Izumi assumed the position of President of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan after being elected to the position on 30 November 2021; the election was triggered by the resignation of Yukio Edano following the party's poorer-than-expected performance during the 2021 general election. As part of his leadership, Izumi opted to revive the Next Cabinet, appointing his shadow cabinet on 13 September 2022. He later reshuffled his cabinet once on 26 January 2024.
