“At one point I thought it might be better to name some key ministers ahead of others for a smooth transition of government,” Hatoyama told a press conference after his party’s landslide victory. “But I changed my mind and now think it would be appropriate to decide on all ministers at once after parliament officially names me as prime minister.”
