Voting began Sunday for three vacant seats in the Diet, with the outcomes possibly impacting Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga’s leadership status and the timing of a general election that must be held by fall.
The elections for Upper House seats in Hiroshima and Nagano constituencies and a Lower House seat in Hokkaido are the first national contests since Suga took office last September.
