The claim
米NYタイムズ「自民・高市氏が首相になった」と報じた?
Original review summary
The post cited a 2021 New York Times article about Takaichi’s bid to become Japan’s first female prime minister, not a report that she had already become prime minister. The review says the article concerned a different LDP leadership contest and did not report the outcome claimed in the post.[S1]
Additional context
The review says the 2025 LDP leadership election was scheduled to be announced on September 22, with voting on October 4. [S1]
