Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party secured a historic landslide victory in Sunday’s Lower House election with NHK projections showing the party securing a two-thirds supermajority in the 465-seat Lower House by itself.

Results early Monday showed that the LDP, which had 198 seats before the election, had won 316 seats, giving it a higher proportion of representatives in the Lower House than any other party in postwar Japan.

Together with its coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party (JIP), the bloc had won 352 seats, significantly expanding its majority of 233.
