El LDP de Japón cede 14 escaños proporcionales a otros partidos tras victoria arrolladora

En las elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes del domingo, el Partido Liberal Democrático de Japón (LDP) se enfrentó a una situación poco común en el segmento de representación proporcional. A pesar de obtener votos para 81 escaños, la falta de candidatos llevó a ceder 14 escaños a otros partidos. Tales casos son infrecuentes en elecciones pasadas.

Las elecciones a la Cámara de Representantes del domingo contaron con 176 escaños en el segmento de representación proporcional. El Partido Liberal Democrático (LDP) obtuvo 67 escaños, un aumento de ocho respecto a las elecciones generales de 2024 anteriores. Sin embargo, con votos que apoyaban 81 escaños pero solo 319 candidatos presentados —un aumento de 34 respecto a antes—, 14 escaños fueron cedidos a otros partidos por falta de candidatos.

Multiple polls indicate that Japan's ruling LDP-JIP coalition is poised to secure over 300 seats in Sunday's lower house election, potentially achieving a two-thirds majority. Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's high approval ratings are boosting LDP candidates in key races. The opposition Centrist Reform Alliance faces significant losses.
