In the Lower House election held on the 27th, the ruling coalition of the LDP and Komeito fell below a majority, making the political situation uncertain. The Constitutional Democratic Party, which made remarkable progress, also has fewer seats than the LDP. In preparation for the Prime Minister's nomination at the extraordinary Diet session to be convened by November 26, a new framework for a government is beginning to take shape centered around the LDP and the Constitutional Democratic Party.
A key player is the National Democratic Party, which increased its seats from 7 to 28, a fourfold increase.The National Democratic Party supported the ruling party in the fiscal year 2022 budget and the fiscal year 2023 supplementary budget. When the National Democratic Party's 28 seats are added to the LDP and Komeito's 215 seats in the House of Representatives, a majority of 233 can be secured.石破茂首相は28日午後の記者会見で、他党の「政策を取り入れる協議から始める」との考えを示した。
