Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga is not planning to dissolve the lower house of parliament, a key step for calling a snap election, before the ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s leadership election that needs to held by the end of September, Kyodo news agency said on Tuesday.

There has been speculation that he aimed to call a general election first, win a majority of seats, and use the victory to help himself win another term as party leader, a post that ensures he would remain as prime minister.
