Japan's parliament re-elects PM Shigeru Ishiba despite bruising election result

Ishiba's coalition lost its lower house majority due to public discontent over financial misconduct, marking a shift in Japan's political landscape and voter expectations.
The centrist opposition leader, Yoshihiko Noda, has been actively trying to form a coalition, highlighting the ongoing political tensions after LDP's poor election performance.
Newly influential parties, such as the Democratic Party for the People, are seeking to leverage their increased seats to negotiate better terms with Ishiba's administration.
