Japanese Prime Minister and ruling Liberal Democratic Party president Shinzo Abe stands in front of the LDP winning candidates displayed by red paper rosettes at the party’s headquarters in Tokyo on July 21, 2019 following the Parliament’s upper house election. – Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s ruling bloc was on track on July 21 to retain its majority in the upper house after an election for around half the seats in the body, local media forecast.

“The ruling parties were given a majority … as people decided to urge us to firmly push for policies under the stable political base,” Abe told public broadcaster NHK. The two parties control 70 seats in the half of the 245-seat chamber that is not being contested, putting them on track to maintain their overall majority.The final numbers were not expected until Monday at the earliest.

Following the vote, however, Abe said he would continue trying to expand support for the revision even if the pro-revision group eventually misses the target, necessary for proposing a constitutional amendment. Among his imminent tasks is to “smoothly” raise the consumption tax to 10 percent in October as part of efforts to ease swelling social security costs in the “ultra-aged” country, Nakakita said.
