On Sunday in Japan, elections were held in the Senate of the National Assembly, at the time of the vote was over, the counting of votes began. Today, the fate of half of the advisory room is being decided. It consists of 248 members, every three years its component is updated half. In the struggle between ruling camps and opposition, this time, 522 participants in a total of 522 people. After calculating the votes between them, 125 seats in the upper ward will be distributed (taken into account an early vacant chair).
According to the Kyodo Agency's notes, the Liberal Democratic Party and the Kommayo Alliance partner, it is necessary to have at least 50 of the 125 seats to ensure the majority. If not, Japan will plunge into political chaos, the media pointed out. The fact that the alliance had 75 places not to choose again. For the ruling bloc, where the Senate control of the National Assembly before the election, the bar is considered relatively low, although Prime Minister Siger ISib, facing the low support of the population compared to the context of serious problems, such as high price and tariffs of the US, call this a difficult task.
During the general election in October 2024, the ruling alliance lost the majority in a more influential House of Representatives and Ishib was forced to establish for the first time in Japan for more than three decades of the Government. Current elections act as a indicator of voters' confidence in the Ishiba minority government. If this ruling alliance will not be able to hold the majority in the Senate, the current Prime Minister will be extremely difficult to continue leading their cabinet.
Of the 125 MPs, 75 people were elected in single districts and 50 others in the party list. According to local media, elections will show how opposition forces are strengthened. The previous polls drew a gloomy picture for the ruling alliance.
