On November 9, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, reported a historic victory following the final tally of the House of Representatives elections held on November 8. The party secured 316 seats out of 465, surpassing the number required for initiating constitutional amendments. This outcome marks a significant increase from the 198 seats held before the election, representing a gain of nearly 120 seats.
