Japan's ruling coalition, led by Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba, is set to lose its majority in the lower house of parliament following recent elections. The results reflect public dissatisfaction with the government's handling of financial scandals and economic stagnation. With no party securing a clear mandate, the future of Japan's government is now in flux, raising concerns about political stability in the world's fourth-largest economy. The loss of majority could lead to difficult coalition negotiations or even a potential leadership change.
