Two opinion polls released this week suggest the Liberal Democratic Party may secure a standalone majority even without the aid of its junior coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party, in the Feb. 8 Lower House vote. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/29/japan/politics/ldp-election-majority/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #cra #2026lowerhouseelection #sanaetakaichi #nipponishinnokai #sanseito

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has fended off criticism over her goals for Japan’s Feb. 8 snap election, arguing that the ruling coalition’s razor-thin majority in the Lower House made it difficult to pass bills. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/01/26/japan/politics/jnpc-debate-takaichi-noda/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #japan #politics #ldp #cra #nipponishinnokai #komeito #cdp #sanaetakaichi #yoshihikonoda #2026lowerhouseelection
