"That power is found in the people. I am able to overcome any kind of challenge so long as I am working together with the people." Leading Japan in the late aughts and later straight through 2020, who is this longest-serving prime minister in Japanese history?

Serving as Japan's prime minister from 2006 to 2007 and later from 2012 to 2020, Shinzo Abe's break in leadership was due to a medical complication. Five prime ministers took charge between 2007 and 2012 but did not hold the office long, after which, Abe made a comeback, only to tender his resignation again in 2020 due to his illness. His economic policies during his prime ministership included structural reforms and stimuli and were known as Abenomics.
