The Japanese House of Representatives election concluded, with the Liberal Democratic Party's ruling coalition securing more than two-thirds of the seats.

The Japanese House of Representatives election has concluded, with the ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Komeito securing 351 seats. The LDP alone has 316 seats, crossing the threshold of two-thirds of the House of Representatives.

The victory of the ruling coalition means it can re-examine bills vetoed by the Senate and propose constitutional amendment initiatives. This is the first time since 2017 that the ruling camp has secured more than two-thirds of the seats in the House of Representatives.

Hayashi Asako celebrated at the LDP headquarters building, emphasizing her commitment to accelerating active fiscal policy and strengthening defense capabilities.

Hayashi said that she will accelerate the implementation of policies agreed upon by the ruling coalition, including active fiscal policy, reducing consumption tax, and promoting constitutional reform. At the same time, she will work to advance the development of rare earth minerals on Okinotori Island and hopes to invite the United States to participate, deepening economic security relations with the U.S.

In terms of politics, she said she will continue to maintain the alliance with Komeito and commit to listening to reasonable suggestions from other parties.

The newly formed "Center Reform Coalition" composed of the Constitutional Democratic Party and Komeito has seen a significant reduction in its seat count, with less than 100 seats already confirmed.

Yoda Yoshihiko, the leader of the coalition, said he would take the result seriously and humbly, and would express his position regarding his own future.
