TOKYO: Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has promised to stay on despite the ruling coalition’s bruising loss in a crucial parliamentary election.
The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and coalition partner Komeito secured 47 seats, short of the 50 seats it needed to ensure a majority in the 248-seat Upper House.
It is the first time the LDP has lost a majority in both houses of parliament. Follow live updates:
