Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi is set to reshuffle his Cabinet on Monday, according to LDP lawmakers.
The expected reshuffle will come two days after Koizumi's anticipated re-election as president of the Liberal Democratic Party.
The main focus of interest will be on who replaces ailing Finance Minister Masajuro Shiokawa and whether Koizumi retains Heizo Takenaka, who concurrently serves as financial services minister and economic and fiscal policy minister.
