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.
