YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In Japan, exit polls project the governing coalition will lose its majority in the upper house of parliament, piling more pressure on Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba. Prime Minister Ishiba leads a shaky minority government in the lower house. The right-wing populist party Sanseito - running under a "Japanese first'" platform - is projected to make strong gains. Japan's poor economy and declining manufacturing sector has stoked anti-foreigner sentiment. Sunday's results could lead to calls from within Ishiba's party for him to step down or find another coalition partner.
