Major Japanese media predicted on Thursday that in this month's election, Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party may lose its absolute majority in the House of Representatives for the first time since 2009, and will have to rely on the help of coalition partners to continue to control the House of Representatives. The “Daily News” predicts that the Liberal Democratic Party will win 203-250 seats in the House of Representatives and may not be able to obtain the 233 seats needed to maintain its exclusive majority. If so, it will be the first time since 2009.
