The nation set to elect woman prime minister in historic first

In the past twenty years, Japan has seen more than 10 prime ministers.

Actually, a specialist compares assuming the nation's highest office to drinking from a "cursed cup".

But why does Japan frequently replace leaders? It's due in part of it being a "single-party system", explains Professor James Brown of Temple University Japan.

The Liberal Democratic Party's control on the country's politics means the main political competition comes from inside the party, instead of from external parties.

"Therefore inside the LDP there are vicious struggles within different factions - they all desire their own faction to secure the top job."

"So even though you could be selected as prime minister, the moment you're in power, you have many individuals scheming to try to remove you again."

Key Factors Behind Frequent Changes

One-party dominance restricts external competition
Party infighting drive leadership contests
The leadership role is often described as a "cursed position"
Government continuity remains elusive despite financial power
