Nippon TV, a Japanese news broadcaster, reported Monday that despite Abe’s claim that he had been in the hospital for examinations, he was actually being treated for ulcerative colitis.

Abe has publicly acknowledged having the chronic illness, even resigning from his first term in 2007 when it had worsened to a point that he could no longer govern. He re-entered the political arena in 2012.
