Victory for Japan’s LDP on the back of tragedy

Published

on

Japan’s ruling government, the Liberal Democratic Party has secured a supermajority following the nation’s upper house election

The election of course follows the assassination of former prime minister Shinzo Abe on Friday.

Of the 125 seats were up for grabs, the coalition has strengthened its hold, claiming more than 75 of these.

Hot on the government’s agenda is amending Japan’s largely anti-conflict constitution, with hopes of increasing the country’s military role on the global stage.

Turnout for the election was low, with just 52 per cent of eligible residents casting their ballot.

While the LDP was expected to cement their majority, many are suggesting the death of the former prime minister may have aided the overwhelming result.
