YouTube Description
as posted by the channelJapan will dissolve its parliament on Friday, January 23, ahead of a national election expected on February 8, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi announced at a press conference on January 19. The decision comes amid reports of heightened tensions between Japan and China, an issue in which Takaichi has been closely involved. The snap election will determine all 465 seats in the lower house and will be Takaichi’s first major electoral test since taking office. By calling an early poll, she aims to capitalise on strong public support, strengthen her hold over the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, and stabilise her coalition’s narrow majority.
