Landmark bill for Emperor Akihito’s abdication passed
Landmark bill for Emperor Akihito’s abdication passed: A one of bill has been passed by Japan’s parliament which will allow Emperor Akihito to abdicate, Emperor Akihito will be the first emperor to do so in 200 years.
The 83 year old emperor had said last year that his age and health were making it hard for him to fulfil his official duties.
However under the law there were no provisions for him to stand down.
Now the government is going to begin the process of arranging his abdication, which is expected to happen in late 2018. The kingship will be handover to Crown Prince Naruhito.
Emperor Akihito, who has had heart surgery and was treated for prostate cancer, had been on the throne in Japan since the death of his father, Hirohito, in 1989.
During a rare televised speech he said that constraints on his health were making it hard for him to fulfil and perform his official duties.
Constitution has bared the emperor from making any political statements, so the emperor could could not say explicitly that he wanted to stand down as that would be considered comment on the law.
According to the newly passed law that on abdication, the emperor’s 57-year old son, Naruhito, will immediately take the Chrysanthemum Throne, however neither Nuruhito or his successor will be allowed to abdicated under the law.
The government has so far not set a date for the abdication, however the bill says it must take place within three years of the law coming into effect.
The handover is widely expected take place in December 2018.
