Japan's House of Representatives election exit poll: "The ruling Liberal Democratic Party is difficult to win a majority alone."

A survey of the exit of Japan's House of Representatives general election showed that it was difficult for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party to win a majority alone.

NHK exit polls showed the LDP's expected number of seats, which was previously 247 out of 465 in the lower house, was 153 to 219, falling short of its majority of 233.

The total number of seats in the ruling party, which includes the Liberal Democratic Party and the ruling New Komeito, was also 174-254, which was expected to be uncertain to secure a majority.

On the other hand, the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party, which had 98 seats, predicted that the opposition party would make significant strides, with the number of seats increasing significantly to 128 to 191.

A JNN exit poll by Japan's private broadcasting network also found that the LDP's estimated number of seats was up to 181, 66 fewer than the previous 247, with only 208 seats combined with the ruling Komeito Party.

The constitutional Democratic Party, on the other hand, was expected to take 242 seats overall in the opposition party, up from 98 seats to 151, exceeding the ruling coalition's expectations.

If the Liberal Democratic Party, which has never missed a majority in four general elections since it regained power in 2012, fails to secure a majority, it is expected that the Liberal Democratic Party will be responsible for Prime Minister Ishiba.

At the same time, there is a possibility that Ishiba's change of prime minister could begin in earnest.
