Abstract: In order to effectively deal with the disadvantages of the official residence decision making left by the previous regime and seek longterm stability in power, the Kishida Cabinet continues the official residenceled form of government decisionmaking on the one hand, and on the other hand, it sought for the coordination of opinions and opinions of external decision making subjects in the process of decisionmaking of the official residence. As an important part of the promotion of the cabinets “kanban policy”, the “continuity” and “coordination” characteristics of the official residence were clearly reflected in the process of formulation and introduction of the Economic Security Bill. However, in the actual implementation led by the official residence, the Kishida Cabinet was still severely restricted by the “lack of” personal political leadership of the Prime Minister, which led to the overall poor actual effect of the official residenceled policy. Coupled with the mutual influence of institutional and domestic political factors, it is also difficult for the Prime Minister to resolve the dilemma of his ineffective political leadership. With the weakening of the governing foundation for a long time, the overall outlook for the Kishida cabinet to promote the leadership of the official residence is also uncertain.

Key words: Kishida cabinet, domianation of Prime Minister, features in decision making, Economic Security Bill, political leadership
