July 22, 2019October 8, 2019 Robert Martin (CN Staff) Leave a comment

His junior coalition partners, the Komeito Party, and allied Japan Innovation Party actually made small gains. Abe remains well-positioned to deal with several domestic and foreign policy issues before his House of Representatives comes up again in 2021.
