Japan PM sweats for majority in upper house election ...Middle East

Ishiba, 68, has been head of a minority government since October when he led the long-dominant Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to its worst general election result in years.

If this happens, “Ishiba may need to step down, leading to a new LDP party leadership election and a new premiership election,“ Toru Yoshida, politics professor at Doshisha University, told AFP.

Voters are angry about inflation -- rice prices have doubled in the past year -- and corruption within the LDP. US tariffs are also causing unease among firms.

“Let’s change Japan, let’s overthrow the Ishiba administration,“ Noda said in the southern prefecture of Miyazaki.

Smaller opposition parties could do well, including the Democratic Party for the People (DPP), which wants to cut sales taxes, and the anti-immigration Sanseito with its “Japanese First” slogan.

Both the DPP and Sanseito, as well as the CDP, gained seats in the Tokyo assembly elections last month when the LDP lost its position as the largest party.
