Japan's House of Representatives election on February 9 resulted in a victory for the ruling coalition, with the Liberal Democratic Party securing 316 seats and the coalition totaling 352. Incumbent Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is expected to be re-elected on February 18. Experts warn that this could accelerate Japan's military expansion and strain China-Japan relations.

Sanae Takaichi is set to be reelected as prime minister on Wednesday in Japan's parliament, where the ruling coalition holds a supermajority in the Lower House. The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its junior partner, the Japan Innovation Party (JIP), secured 352 seats out of 465 following the February 8 election. In the Upper House, the coalition falls five seats short of a majority, making a first-round reelection unlikely but a runoff victory probable.

Japan's Liberal Democratic Party and allies secured 352 seats in the February 9 House of Representatives election, surpassing the two-thirds majority and paving the way for Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's re-election. Japanese and Chinese experts warn that this could accelerate military expansion and constitutional revision, heightening Asia-Pacific tensions.

The Komeito party, which joined Japan's opposition earlier this year after leaving the ruling coalition, has decided to support its own candidates in nationwide local elections next spring, government sources said Saturday. In an online meeting with local organizations on Friday, it announced it would not join the Centrist Reform Alliance for the elections.
