Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has dissolved the lower house of Parliament, paving the way for a snap election on Feb 8. The move comes just three months into her term as Takaichi seeks to capitalise on her popularity to help the ruling LDP regain ground after recent losses.
Campaigning begins on Tuesday (Jan 27) with all 465 seats up for grabs. Key issues for voters include dealing with the rising cost of living, with Takaichi promising aggressive spending and measures like lifting taxes on gasoline and providing subsidies. The ruling coalition’s platform also includes proposals to tighten immigration control and restrict foreign real estate purchases. https://cna.asia/49BJUqv
