Japan ruling coalition set to win election marred by Shinzo Abe killing - YouTube
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was projected to keep a majority in the upper house with its junior coalition partner in Sunday’s election.
The outcome comes two days after the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida led a minute’s silence for Abe at the headquarters of the governing Liberal Democratic Party before announcing winning candidates.
The LDP and the Komeito party were likely to win between 69 and 83 seats out of the 125 contested in Sunday’s vote.
The LDP was projected to win 59 to 69 of the upper house seats contested, up from the 55 it held previously.
A big LDP victory would mean Prime Minister Fumio Kishida could rule without interruption until a scheduled election in 2025.
The triennial election is a critical test for Kishida to assess voter confidence in the performance of his government since taking office last year.
