Earlier on Friday, Abe resigned from his post citing his poor health as a major issue. After his resignation, the 65-year-old Japanese Prime Minister said in a press conference, “I cannot be the Prime Minister if I cannot make the best decisions for the people. I have decided to step down from my post.”

It has been learnt that Abe has been battling with ulcerative colitis for years.

Abe’s two recent hospital visits within a week have fanned questions on whether he could stay in the job until the end of his term as the ruling party leader in September 2021.
