Japan's New PM Takaichi Calls Snap Election for February
Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi of Japan intends to dissolve parliament, calling for a snap election on February 8th to solidify her public support into a majority in the House of Representatives. Takaichi, who assumed office in October, seeks a public mandate for her agenda, including increased public spending, despite potential voter concerns regarding the cost of living. The upcoming election will determine the composition of the 465-member lower house and test the public's confidence in Takaichi's leadership.
