Well apparently the Ruling party getting killed in Diet election
Projections by Japan's national broadcaster NHK have shown Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) falling short of a majority for the first time since 2009 after snap elections on Sunday.
The projections leave it unclear whether Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's LDP will be able to achieve a parliamentary majority with its coalition partner, the Komeito party.
According to the NHK figures, the two coalition parties are set to win between 174 and 254 of the 465 seats in the lower house of Japan's parliament, with 233 needed for a majority.
The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan is predicted to win 128 to 191 seats.
