What is the news?
Japan Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s coalition has won a historic victory in the winter elections on Sunday. Takaichi, a conservative leader and Japan’s first female Prime Minister, describes herself as inspired by Britain’s ‘Iron Lady’ Margaret Thatcher. He achieved the required majority just 2 hours after voting ended. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has also congratulated him on his victory. Let us know what Prime Minister Modi said.
Takaichi’s party was projected to win 328 seats.
Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) was projected to win 328 of the 465 seats in the lower house of parliament. Less than two hours after voting ended, the LDP crossed the 233-seat mark required for a majority and is headed for one of its best electoral results ever. LDP leaders and supporters are feeling very excited by this victory.
What did Prime Minister Modi say on Takaichi’s victory?
Prime Minister Modi has congratulated Takaichi and LDP on getting a strong mandate in the winter elections. He wrote on X, ‘Many congratulations to Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi on his historic victory in the Parliament elections! Our special strategic and global partnerships play an important role in enhancing global peace, stability and prosperity. I am confident that under your capable leadership we will take India-Japan friendship to greater heights.
What will Takaichi gain from this victory?
In the election, Prime Minister Takaichi, along with his coalition partner, the Japan Innovation Party (known as Ishin), now has a strong majority of two-thirds of the seats. This makes her legislative agenda easier as she can bypass the upper house, which she does not control. Let us tell you that Takaichi took charge as the first woman Prime Minister of Japan in October. He is quite popular personally.
Best wishes

Prime Minister Takaichi has demonstrated capable, strong and visionary leadership in this election and is truly dedicated to his country. Now on March 19, I am looking forward to giving him a grand welcome at the White House.
