TAIPEI (TVBS News) — Japan's political landscape experienced a shift as Sunday’s election results revealed significant changes in the House of Representatives.
The ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Komeito lost its majority, while the Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDPJ) emerged as the biggest winner.
This political upheaval could impact Taiwan-Japan relations, with Yoshihiko Noda, the party leader, positioning to replace Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba.
Taiwanese legislators on Monday (Oct. 28) emphasized the importance of maintaining stable relations with Japan despite these changes. They urged enhanced communication with all Japanese political parties.
In August, Noda visited Taiwan and met with President Lai Ching-te (賴清德), expressing his opposition to "any unilateral attempt to change the status quo through force or coercion."
Legislator Kuo Kuo-wen (郭國文) highlighted the need for Taiwan to engage broadly with Japan's diverse political factions.
Ishiba's cabinet, formed on Oct. 1, faced a severe setback in the election, underscoring the need for Taiwan to connect with Japan's opposition to maintain diplomatic relations.
As Taiwan navigates this evolving political scenario, fostering dialogue with Japan's political spectrum remains crucial.
