Japan's snap lower-house election is heading toward a decisive conservative victory tonight, with Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) on track to gain a solid majority and possibly a "super-majority" alongside its populist ally. However, amid heavy snow across the country, voter turnout was logged at 21.6% as of 4 pm local time, a 2.65-percentage point decrease compared to the previous session that could affect the final results. #JapanElection #LDP #SanaeTakaichi | HO
