Japan's parliament has elected Sanae Takaichi, a conservative politician and admirer of Margaret Thatcher, as the country's first female prime minister. The 64-year-old, who has served in Shinzo Abe's administration, takes office amid a rightward shift in politics and economic challenges. Her Liberal Democratic Party formed a coalition with the Japan Innovation Party to secure the position.
