Japan: PM Ishiba chosen for new term, despite lost majority DW 11/11/2024
Briefly

Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba managed to retain his leadership position in parliament through a confidence vote after his coalition suffered a loss in a snap election.
Ishiba's coalition lost its parliamentary majority recently, which led to a runoff vote for PM—this was the first of its kind in three decades.
Despite challenges, Ishiba was able to secure 221 votes in the runoff, thereby allowing him to maintain his position at the helm of the government.
Ishiba retains most of his Cabinet while facing the political landscape of a minority government, actively seeking new allies and legislative support.
