Japan Snap Elections 2026: PM Takaichi Seeks Stronger Mandate

Описание: Japan’s snap general elections, scheduled for February 8, have sparked debate over Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's unilateral power to dissolve the House of Representatives. As Japan’s first female premier, she dissolved parliament on January 23 to seek a stronger mandate for her expansionary fiscal policies, including increased spending and tax cuts to boost the economy. Critics argue that the exclusive prerogative lacks constitutional checks, while opposition parties focus on cost of living relief and economic reforms. Recent polls indicate that PM Taki’s Liberal Democratic Party may secure a landslide victory in the 465-seat lower house.
