TOKYO, Aug. 1 (Xinhua) -- Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe said Tuesday that he will reshuffle his cabinet and ruling party executives on Thursday.

Abe said during an executive meeting of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) that the purpose of the reshuffle is to reinvigorate the lineup, which has been in place for exactly a year since he appointed the current cabinet on Aug. 3, 2016.

The reshuffle comes at a time when the public's support rate for Abe's cabinet has hit historic lows amid a number of high-profile scandals.
