Japan's political future is uncertain after the ruling coalition was punished in elections, with the LDP’s worst performance since 2009 raising serious questions about governance.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba acknowledged the electorate's strong judgment against the LDP, stressing the need for the party to reflect and align more closely with the people's will.
With the LDP and Komeito securing only 215 seats compared to the 279 previously, they are far from the 233 needed for a majority, complicating potential coalitions.
The significant gains for the CDP, now at 148 seats, and the overall election uncertainty have led to economic ramifications, with the yen dropping to a three-month low.
