Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party was forecast to hold on to its majority in Sunday’s parliamentary election although it suffered losses that could curb his drive to ease wealth inequality
Keeping the majority in parliament’s lower house is seen as key to Kishida, himself just weeks into the job, hanging on to his position within the faction-riven ruling party
Exit polls by a public broadcaster, however, showed the conservative LDP emerging on a weaker footing
The vote was a test for Kishida and for the long-powerful party, which has been hurt by perceptions that it mishandled the Covid pandemic. reuters
