PredecessorNext Cabinet of Kenta Izumi

Yoshihiko Noda assumed the position of President of the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan after being elected to the position on 23 September 2024, beating party founder Yukio Edano, incumbent president Kenta Izumi, and freshman lawmaker Harumi Yoshida after the expiration of Izumi's three-year mandate. Noda appointed his Next Cabinet on 30 September 2024. As of November 2025, there have been two minor reshuffles in November 2024 and August 2025, and one major reshuffle in September 2025; it has shadowed the Ishiba I, Ishiba II, and Takaichi cabinets since its formation. The CDP merged with Komeito in the House of Representatives in January 2026, forming the Centrist Reform Alliance. The Cabinet dissolved following Noda's resignation as CRA co-leader on 9 February 2026, which was prompted by the party's dismal result in the 2026 general election.
