Japan’s ruling party, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is on course to win yesterday’s snap election by a landslide.
The coalition led by Takaichi’s Liberal Democrat Party has won 352 of 465 seats in Japan’s House of Representatives, figures collated by public broadcaster NHK suggest, with the LDP alone securing a majority of 316. The country’s first female Prime Minister had sought a clear public mandate by calling the election just four months after becoming party leader. END
