The 49th general election of members of the House of Representatives (Japanese: 第49回衆議院議員総選挙, Hepburn: dai-yonjūkyūkai Shūgiin giin sōsenkyo) was held on 31 October 2021.[2]
It was the first general election in the Reiwa era, ending the nine-year Shinzo Abe era and a controversial Suga Cabinet.
The ruling party, the LDP, is projected to win a sole majority, passing the 233 seats needed.[3][4]
Notes[change | change source]
- ↑ The Democratic Party merged with Kibō no Tō in May 2018, forming the Democratic Party for the People. The majority of the DPFP later merged with the Constitutional Democratic Party in September 2020, however 14 members refused to merge and instead formed a new party retaining the DPFP name and branding.
- ↑ The current Constitutional Democratic Party is a new party founded in September 2020 following a merger between the CDP, a majority of the former Democratic Party for the People and some independent Diet members. The new party voted to retain the CDP name as well as Edano as leader.
