Not available on data broadcasting Q

The ruling party loses its majority.

How do you interpret the results? A

Political Department, Reporter Kensuke Nishii It can be said that this is a very tough result for the ruling party.

Prime Minister Ishiba had set the 50 seats needed to maintain a majority as a must-achieve goal, but he did not reach it.

Prime Minister Ishiba intends to stay on, but having lost the majority in both the House of Representatives and the House of Councillors, it is expected that running the government will become increasingly difficult.

In contrast, the Democratic Party for the People and the Sanseito significantly increased their seats, expanding their support mainly among relatively younger generations, and it appears that they also attracted some of the Liberal Democratic Partys traditional supporters.

The Japan Conservative Party and the political group Team Mirai also won seats in the proportional representation for the first time, which suggests that voter support was dispersed—a characteristic feature of this election.

Q

How will the ruling and opposition parties respond?

Political section, reporter Kensuke Nishii First, regarding the ruling party, cooperation from the opposition parties remains essential to pass the budget and bills.

Prime Minister Ishiba intends to seek consensus with opposition parties on each policy, and, based on experiences such as passing this year’s budget in the regular Diet session, aims to move politics forward.

On the other hand, as for the opposition parties, Constitutional Democratic Party leader Noda stated, The public has clearly expressed a no to the Ishiba administration, indicating a stance of intensifying confrontation.

However, even when the ruling party was in the minority in the House of Representatives, it cannot be said that the opposition parties always acted in unison to confront the ruling party. Therefore, it is unclear whether the opposition will unite as one and push for a change of government in response to the results of this election.

Both the ruling and opposition parties are likely to develop their future strategies while watching each others moves.
