Ruling LDP loses lower house majority exacerbating challenges for new PM

Quick Summary:

The LDP, which had 256 seats before the election, suffered a setback, the CDPJ built on its previous 98 seats, securing more than 140 seats led by his party.

After the election, Ishiba said the LDP, which has governed Japan for most of the postwar era, is "far from gaining the public's understanding" over the slush funds scandal.

The post-election outlook is uncertain, with some major opposition parties that made notable gains rejecting the possibility of joining a government with the ruling bloc, as per Kyodo News.
