Japan's Sanae Takaichi Wins Landslide in Snap Election, Exit Polls Project
Japan's Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has reportedly won a landslide victory in a snap election, according to exit polls by NHK. The polls suggest that Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is set to win between 274 and 326 seats out of 465, well above the 233 needed for a majority. This election, held amid freezing temperatures, was a strategic gamble by Takaichi to secure public backing for her agenda, which includes bolstering Japan's defense capabilities. Her leadership style and policies have resonated with voters, particularly young people, despite her party's recent scandals.
