A survey of the exit of Japan's House of Representatives general election showed that it was difficult for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to win a majority alone.

Even with the ruling coalition, the majority is uncertain, and Prime Minister Ishiba's theory of responsibility is expected to intensify if the failure of the majority is finalized.

Japan's House of Representatives general election voting is over, how did the exit poll come out?

Voting for the general election of the House of Representatives, whose fate depends on Japan's Ishiba regime, ended at 8 p.m.

Exit polls of major media outlets were announced at the end of the vote, and it was found that it was difficult for the Liberal Democratic Party to win a majority alone.

According to NHK exit polls, the number of seats expected by the Liberal Democratic Party, which was previously 247, is 153-219 out of 465 seats in the House of Representatives.

It was found to be less than the majority of 233 seats.

The total number of seats in the ruling party, which includes the Liberal Democratic Party and the ruling New Komeito, was also 174-254, which was expected to be uncertain to secure a majority.

On the other hand, in the case of the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party, which had 98 seats, the number of seats increased significantly to 128 to 191.

In addition, the National Democratic Party of Korea, which had seven seats, was also predicted to increase to a maximum of 33.

Japan's private broadcasting network, JNN exit polls show the LDP's projected number of seats shrinking by a greater margin.

The JNN survey found that the Liberal Democratic Party had 181 seats, 66 fewer than the previous 247.The coalition's New Komeito, which is expected to win 28 seats

, was also forecast to win 208 seats, far short of its majority of 233.

On the other hand, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Korea was expected to increase the number of seats significantly, with 151 seats from 98 seats and the National Democratic Party from 7 seats to 27.

The total number of seats in the opposition, including minor parties, was forecast to be 242, exceeding the expected number of seats in the ruling coalition.

We have to wait and see the final results of the vote count, but if it is confirmed according to the flow of this exit poll, it will have a major impact on Japanese politics, right?

[Reporter]
The ruling Liberal Democratic Party has not missed a majority in four parliamentary elections since it regained power in 2012.

If it is confirmed according to the exit survey, it will inevitably hit Ishiba's cabinet, which has been in office for about a month.

There have been a number of bad news for the Liberal Democratic Party throughout the election period,

Above all, the biggest reason is the failure to properly dispel distrust caused by the controversy over the slush fund scandal in the Liberal Democratic Party at the end of last year.

In particular, it became more controversial when it was revealed that the party provided subsidies to lawmakers who were excluded from the nomination due to their involvement in the slush fund scandal.

In addition, junk and situations where consumer inflation exceeds 2% and rising dissatisfaction with real wages not rising seem to have contributed to the factors.

If the party fails to secure a majority, it is expected that the Liberal Democratic Party will be responsible for Prime Minister Ishiba.

In addition, there is a prospect that the move to change the prime minister could begin in earnest.
