Opposition unity in Japan general election proving easier said than done

Suga s LDP suffers setback in by-elections seen as Japan GE precursor

TOKYO - Japan s ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) suffered a stunning setback in three by-elections on Sunday (April 25), in what was Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga s first parliamentary electoral test since taking office in September last year. The by-elections were held to fill one Lower House seat in Hokkaido and two Upper House seats in Hiroshima and Nagano. All three seats – including the LDP stronghold of Hiroshima that the party had seen as its best bet of victory – were won by candidates supported by the main opposition party, the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP). Political watchers say the polls serve as a bellwether for Mr Suga s political fortunes with two make-or-break elections in the coming months. Mr Suga s tenure as LDP president - and hence Prime Minister - will expire on Sept 30 and rivals may smell blood if his standing as a leader comes into question.

LDP s triple by-election loss a long-term worry for Suga

Apr 26, 2021 OSAKA – Sunday’s triple victory by opposition-backed candidates in Hokkaido, Nagano and Hiroshima by-elections had been predicted by local media before the polls closed and may have little immediate impact on the national political landscape. But the Hiroshima loss in particular could spell trouble for Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga and the ruling parties in the coming weeks as they look to boost their popularity ahead of a general election, which must be held before October. “Regarding yesterday’s elections, I humbly accept the judgment of voters,” Suga said Monday morning. In the Hiroshima Upper House race, Haruko Miyaguchi, a 45-year-old former broadcaster backed by the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP), the Democratic Party for the People (DPP) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP), beat Hidenori Nishita, a 39-year-old former trade ministry official endorsed by the Liberal Democratic Party and backed by Komeito. She got 370,860 vote
