Abe Shinzo has twice served as Japan's prime minister. Abe first became leader in 2006 at the age of 52, making him Japan's youngest post-war prime minister. About a year later, the Liberal Democratic Party lost an Upper House election, and Abe resigned due to worsening health. His condition improved over time. Abe then led the LDP to a landslide victory in the 2012 Lower House election and became prime minster once again. He stepped down again in 2020 due to heath issues, but has remained an influential figure within the LDP.
