 Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi are both right-wing nationalists and populists.In a speech to LDP lawmakers in Tokyo on March 8, 2019, Steve Bannon said that “Prime Minister Abe is a great hero to the grassroots, the populist, and the nationalist movement throughout the world.”

The recent wave of right-wing populism is in Pakistan in the form of Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf (PTI).Its leader Imran Khan has furiously attacked traditional politicians and made people believe that only he has the solutions.
