| Former chief cabinet secretary Yasuo Fukuda raises his hands as he shouts "banzai" or cheers after he was elected as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) at the LDP headquarters in Tokyo September 23, 2007. The LDP picked Fukuda, an advocate of warmer ties with Tokyo's Asian neighbours, to succeed Shinzo Abe as prime minister in an effort to revive party fortunes and end a political vacuum. [Reuters] |
