The ruling alliance of Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba is in danger of losing its majority in the upper house in Sunday’s election, as voting was going on in several elections.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), already in a minority in the lower house since last October SNAP elections, face public dissatisfaction over inflation, political scams and an increase in anti-immigration.
With only 50 of the 125 competition seats required to maintain control, LDP and its junior partner Komito are expected to be reduced according to the elections of Kyo, Yomuri and Nikkei.
This will have a huge impact on Japan’s fiscal and political approach, and comes at a time when Tokyo is struggling to attack a business deal between US President Donald Trump Tavries.
Prime Minister’s future slope in balance
This election wants to decide Ishiba’s political future.
A major defeat, like last year, can force a power to conflict and appreciate a power struggle within LDP.
Small, opposition parties with anti-installation messages are likely to get support from the ruling power.
If the coalition loses both houses, Japan can enter the unwanted political field because LDP is in power in 1955, which stops a few years in the middle in 1955.
Rise of ‘Japanese First’ party
The growth of right -wing populist Sanseito is complicating the party’s growth race.
Once a fringe movement, vaccinating during the Kovid -19 epidemic on YouTube and spreading the principles of conspiracy about global clans, the party is now gaining momentum with its “Japanese first” rhetoric and criticism of immigration, globalism and firing.
The analyst says that Sanseito can win more than 10 seats, which specifically appeal to young male voters.
Its leader, Sohai Kamiya, has compared Trump and Germany’s AFD for anti -establishment and social media access.
According to the AFP news agency, an interview of a Sunset candidate by Russia’s Sputnic news agency on Sunday canceled the controversy and quick refusal of the relationship with Russia by Kamiya.
The European Union has banned Sputnik with other Russian state media for “disintegration and information manipulation”.
