Results of House of Councillors Election

The 23rd election of the House of Councillors was held on July 21 with the voting and vote-counting finishing on the same day. As a result, the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won 65 seats and, together with the seats won by the ruling coalition partner New Komeito, the LDP-Komeito alliance has obtained substantially more than half of the seats in the House of Councillor, giving birth to a gigantic ruling coalition which also has more than two-third of the seats in the House of Representatives. The ruling parties have come to have a strong power in the Diet. It is expected that they will modestly listen to the voices of the people and working people in advancing policies.
