- Forecasts have raised expectations that the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) could win in an enormous landslide on 8 February, as key factors have broken in favor of the LDP and Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae.
- If the LDP wins by as large as polls are suggesting, it would have significant implications for the ruling partnership and its agenda, the balance of power within the LDP, and the LDP’s position in the political system.
- It could also bolster Takaichi’s commitment to her ambitious agenda, particularly regarding fiscal policy.
