日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎称明年自民党总裁选不出马：将全力支持高市早苗连任
日本防卫大臣小泉进次郎11月10日晚在一档互联网节目中表示，2027年秋举行自民党总裁选举时，如果首相高市早苗竞选连任，他将不参选，并「全力支持」高市。他由此成为自民党内又一名公开表态支持高市连任的主要人物。
小泉在2025年自民党总裁选举中进入决选，最终败给高市。他在节目中回顾今年2月的众议院选举称，自民党取得历史性大胜，「国民选的是高市自民党」，并非险胜；得到这样的民意支持，全力支持首相是理所当然的。他还表示，从外交与安全保障政策连续性的角度看，首相连任同样可取。
小泉目前正牵头推进定于今年年底完成的国家安全保障战略等安保三文件的修订。他说，自己手头正忙于这项工作，「完全没有考虑明年的事」，将在首相领导下全力履行被赋予的职责。
在小泉之前，自民党干事长代行萩生田光一10月20日已表示，若高市在下届总裁选举中谋求连任，他愿意支持；政务调查会长小林鹰之10月21日也表示，今后一两年会继续支持高市政权。随着曾在总裁选举决选中与高市竞争的小泉也公开表态，自民党内支持高市连任的动向进一步表面化。

Japan Defence Minister Koizumi Says He Will Not Run in Next Year's LDP Leadership Election and Will Fully Back Takaichi
Japanese Defence Minister Shinjiro Koizumi said on an internet programme on the evening of November 10 that if Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi runs for re-election in the Liberal Democratic Party leadership election scheduled for autumn 2027, he will not run himself and will support her fully. He thereby became another senior LDP figure to publicly back a second Takaichi term.
Koizumi reached the runoff in the 2025 LDP leadership election before losing to Takaichi. On the programme he recalled the House of Representatives election in February this year, saying the LDP had won a historic landslide and that voters had chosen Takaichi's LDP, not a narrow winner; with that level of public support, he said, fully backing the prime minister was only natural. He added that continuity in foreign and security policy also favoured the prime minister staying on.
Koizumi is currently leading work on revising Japan's three security documents, including the National Security Strategy, due to be completed by the end of this year. He said that with that work in hand he was not thinking about next year at all, and would carry out the role assigned to him under the prime minister to the full.
Before Koizumi, LDP acting secretary-general Koichi Hagiuda said on October 20 that he would support Takaichi if she sought re-election in the next leadership contest, and policy chief Takayuki Kobayashi said on October 21 that he would continue to support the Takaichi government over the coming one to two years. With Koizumi, her runoff opponent, now also declaring his support, moves inside the LDP to consolidate backing for Takaichi's re-election have become more visible.
