According to him, Shinji Ishimaru, who previously headed the party, resigned from his post due to the unsuccessful results of the unification in the elections to the upper house of the country's parliament in July. Ishimaru created the Path to Rebirth in January, before that he served as mayor of the small town of Akitakata in western Japan. At the same time, the party does not have a clear political platform, and its members can form their own programs. "Artificial intelligence will be the new leader," said Koki Okumura, a 25-year-old graduate student who won the internal party elections to succeed Ishimaru.

According to AFP, a student studying artificial intelligence at the university indicated that he himself would act as an assistant to the "new head" of the party. According to Okumura, who will formally lead the Path to Rebirth, the details of the AI implementation, including the timing and ways to implement the plan, have not yet been determined. He stressed, however, that artificial intelligence would not determine the nature of the political activities of party members, but would perform tasks such as, for example, the allocation of resources among the members of the association.

According to the material, during the Tokyo Metropolitan prefectural parliamentary elections in June, none of the 42 candidates from the Path to Rebirth were able to win a seat in the legislature. In July, in the elections to the upper house of the Japanese parliament, the party fielded 10 candidates, all of whom also lost. tass.ru.
