The Prime Minister Shinzo Abe of Japan announced, after only a year of services, that he is stepping down. This announcement came as a surprise and is so new it isn't even up on the Prime Minister's web site (as of 10:30 MST). In a parliamentary system, such as Japan's, the prime minister can resign and the party (not the people) will elect a new prime minister without holding elections.
