Exit polls suggest ruling party set to lose majority
The exit surveys from an election in Japan will lose the majority of the ruling coalition, and the country’s prime minister Shigeru Ishiba will put an enormous oppression.
Voters went to the polls early on Sunday for the tightly discussed upper home choice, which was strictly discussed due to the disappointment of the people on the threat of US tariffs.
After you have already lost its majority in Japan’s stronger lower house, defeat for the coalition in the upper house will criticize its impact on the policy construction and encourage it to leave it less than a year after it is elected.
The coalition needs 50 seats to keep the control of the 248 -seat upper room – it reflects the public publisher NHK to win between 32-51.
Previous surveys, Ishiba’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and young partner Komeito’nun majority of the majority of Japan’s stronger lower house was at the risk of losing the majority of the risk of losing.
On Sunday, NHK predicted, “It may be difficult for the ruling coalition to maintain the majority.”
Despite the projection of the coalition to lose the upper house, the Ishiba party in the center of Tokyo in the center of a news conference aims to remain as prime minister, he said.
“We are making extremely critical tariff negotiations with the United States … We should never ruin these negotiations,” he said.
Half of the seats in the upper room were selected in Sunday’s elections and the members were selected as a six -year period.
If the coalition was less than 46 seats, it would have marked the worst performance since its establishment in 1999.
Ishiba’s central -right party has been almost constantly running Japan since 1955, even though it has frequent leadership changes.
The expected result emphasizes the disappointment of voters with Ishiba, who struggles to inspire trust in Japan’s economic winds, the cost of living and the trade negotiations with the United States.
Many of them are not satisfied with inflation – especially the price of rice – and in recent years, a series of political scandals that surround LDP.
The last three LDP Prime Minister, who lost the majority in the upper house, resigned within two months, and analysts predicted that a significant loss in this election would give a similar result.
This would open the field by other important LDP members, including Sanae Takaichi, who finished Ishiba in the last year’s leadership elections; A former Minister of Economic Security Takayuki Kobayashi; And Shinjiro Koizumi, son of former Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi.
In any case, the change of leadership in the ruling party will almost certainly reveal and destabilize political drama at a very important moment in the US-Japan trade negotiations.
Support to the ruling coalition, “Japanese first”, anti -immigration discourse with conservative votes with a small, right -leaning Sansito Party seems to be worn by candidates.
Sanseito first came to the forefront on Youtube during the Covid-19 pandemia, spreading conspiracy theories about vaccines and global elites about a cabin.
The Nativist discourse of the Fringe party expanded its objection before the vote on Sunday, as foreign residents and migration policies became the focus of many parties.
When leaving NHK output surveys, as a course to win seven chairs.
Famous for its insulation culture and tight migration policies, Ada Nation has experienced a record increase in both tourists and foreign residents in recent years.
The mind further increased prices for the Japanese people, and some of them fueled a feeling that foreigners benefited from the country and increased discontent.
Against the same ground, Ishiba launched a task force aiming to combat crimes or discomfort behaviors committed by some foreign nationals, including those related to migration, land acquisitions and free social insurance last week.
