Exit poll suggests that the ruling party lost majority

The pole ruling coalition is ready to lose its majority in the Japan project, which has put the country’s Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba under immense political pressure.

Voters led the first elections on Sunday, which was tightly for the upper upper house election between rising prices and public frustration at the threat of American tariff.

After losing its majority in Japan’s more powerful lower house, the necklace for the alliance in the upper house severely weakened its influence on policy -making and inspired to leave for less than a year after being selected.

The alliance requires 50 seats to maintain the control of the upper chamber with 248 seats – with a exhaust pole from public broadcaster NHK they were introduced to win between 32 and 51.

Earlier elections had indicated that Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior partner Komito were in danger of losing their majority, already lost their majority at the more powerful lower house in Japan.

On Sunday, NHK estimated that “it could be difficult for the ruling alliance to maintain its majority”.

Half the seats of the upper chamber were being voted in the Sunday election, in which the members were selected for six years.

If the alliance takes home on less than 46 seats, it will mark its worst performance since being formed in 1999.

Ishiba’s central-right party has operated Japan almost continuously since 1955, which is with the constant changes of the leader.

The expected results underlines the frustration of voters with Ishiba, which struggles against Japan Economic Headwind, struggling to struggle to struggle against the United States to struggle against a cost-living crisis and business talks.

Many people are also unhappy about inflation – especially the price of rice – and a string of political scams that have rejected LDP in recent years.

The last three LDP premiere, who lost the majority in the upper house, left the post within two months, and analysts predicted that a significant loss in this election would give a similar result.

It will open the area for a possible run led by other notable LDP members, including Sanaa Takchi, who finished second for Isaba in last year’s general election; Takayuki Kobayasi, a former Economic Security Minister; And Shinjiro Koizumi, son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.

In any case, a change of leadership within the ruling party would almost certainly expose the political drama and destabilize the Japanese government in a significant moment in the US-Japan trade talks.

Support for the ruling coalition has been erased by the candidates of the small, right-rolling Sansito Party, which attracted conservative votes with its “Japanese first”, anti-immigration rhetoric.

Sanseito first gained prominence during the Covid-19 epidemic on YouTube, spreading a caball of conspiracies about vaccination and a cabal of global clanges.

The fringe party’s naturalist rhetoric widened its appeal before Sunday’s vote, as policies about foreign residents and immigration became the focal point of the campaigns of many parties.

When moving away from NHK exit poll, winning seven seats is definitely there.

Famous for its separatist culture and strict immigration policies, the island nation has experienced a record increase in both tourists and foreign residents in recent years.

Inflex has further increased prices for Japanese people and has promoted a feeling among some that foreign countries are taking advantage of the country, unsatisfactory.

Against the same background, Ishiba launched a task force last week, “aims to” deal with crimes or nuisance behaviors committed by some foreign nationals “, immigration, land acquisition and unpaid social insurance.
