Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is projected to secure a large majority in Japan’s lower house following a snap election, according to exit polls reported by public broadcaster NHK. This suggests that the ruling coalition, which includes the Japan Innovation Party, is on track to hold over two-thirds of the 465 seats, bolstering Takaichi’s conservative policies and strengthening their joint economic reform agenda. The snap election was strategically called by Takaichi just three months into her premiership to leverage her high approval ratings and exploit the disarray among opposition parties.
