Exit Polls Show Japan’s Government Losing Grip
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Exit polls show Japan’s government losing grip on its hold over the upper house after Sunday’s election. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its coalition partner, Komeito, are projected to fall short of the 50 seats needed to retain a majority in the 248-seat chamber. According to NHK, they are expected to win between 32 and 51 seats, a sign of declining voter confidence.

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is under pressure as his government already lost control of the lower house in October. This latest result raises questions about his political future, with murmurs of a possible leadership challenge from within the LDP.

Opposition Parties Gain Momentum

Opposition parties, calling for tax cuts and tougher immigration policies, appear to be making significant gains. Voters have expressed frustration with rising living costs, especially the surge in rice prices. Analysts say this economic pressure was a major factor in the ruling coalition’s weak performance.

David Boling, a director at Eurasia Group, said, “The LDP was largely playing defence in this election, being on the wrong side of a key voter issue.” He explained that opposition parties effectively pushed for consumption tax cuts, which resonated with households struggling under inflation.

Trade Deadline Adds Pressure

Japan now faces a looming August 1 deadline to reach a trade deal with the United States. Failure to strike a deal could lead to heavy tariffs in Japan’s largest export market, adding to economic uncertainty. Investors are already concerned about Japan’s fiscal health and its massive national debt.

Populist Sanseito Party Emerges as a Force

The far-right Sanseito party, which ran on a “Japanese First” agenda, is forecast to win 10–15 seats, a significant jump from just one seat previously. The party’s rhetoric on limiting foreign influence struck a chord with some voters.

Yu Nagai, a 25-year-old student in Tokyo, said, “When I look at the way compensation and money are spent on foreigners, I think that Japanese people are a bit disrespected.”

Exit Polls Show Japan’s Government Losing Grip

The exit polls show Japan’s government losing grip on its political stability. With the opposition gaining momentum, economic challenges mounting, and a key trade deadline approaching, Ishiba’s administration is entering one of its most critical phases.
