Japan's ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, will decide on its new leader on September 27, local media reported on Tuesday, citing its election committee.

The decision follows current Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's announcement last week that he won't seek re-election.

Campaigning to become the next LDP president will begin on September 12 with a vote two weeks later, an internal committee decided early on Tuesday, according to local media outlets.
