After Sunday’s election results, Japanese policies on energy, economics, foreign relations, immigration and other key issues will likely be making a hard right turn across the next two years, as led by popular Prime Minister (PM) Sanae Takaichi.
By winning 316 seats in yesterday’s lower house elections, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party rode the new PM’s personal popularity to set an all-time record for seat totals by a single party. It has also surpassed the two-thirds majority threshold of 310 seats in the 465-seat body.
