The Liberal Democratic Party has continued to dominate Japanese politics in the twenty-first century, as it did through the second half of the twentieth, and has provided most of the country\u2019s leaders through this time. The two longest-serving prime ministers of the century so far are Koizumi Jun\u2019ichir\u014d, who took on the role for over five years from April 2001, and Abe Shinz\u014d, who led the country for a year after succeeding Koizumi, resigned due to poor health, and then came back to head the government for nearly eight years from December 2012. Abe is Japan\u2019s longest-serving prime minister ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n
