Japan’s PM Ishiba stays in power despite his LDP-Komeito coalition losing the upper house majority and looming US tariffs, as voters back anti-globalist Sanseito.
Japan’s ruling coalition fell short of a majority in the upper house election, intensifying pressure on PM Ishiba and raising questions about leadership and legislative gridlock.
Exit polls show Japan’s ruling coalition likely to lose its upper house majority, adding fresh uncertainty to Prime Minister Ishiba’s government.
Japan’s upper house vote began with 522 candidates contesting 125 seats. The ruling coalition needs 50 wins to hold its majority amid low support and global pressures.
