Sanae Takaichi's recent landslide victory in Japan's snap elections marks a significant shift in the country's political landscape. As reported by the New York Times, Takaichi, Japan's first female prime minister, has achieved a 'record election win' by securing a supermajority in the lower house, capturing 316 out of 465 seats. This victory, as noted by NPR, is the largest electoral win for Japan's ruling party in its seven-decade history, attributed largely to Takaichi's personal popularity and her conservative agenda. The South China Morning Post highlights that the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) now holds 352 seats, well above the two-thirds supermajority required to override the upper house, which could enable significant legislative changes.
