LDP Plans to Reduce Lower House Seats by Cutting 45 Proportional Representation Positions

4 Haziran 2026Japan Times

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is exploring the possibility of reducing the number of seats in the Lower House by cutting 45 proportional representation seats. This move aims to gain consensus within the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
The proposal reflects ongoing discussions about electoral reform and the structure of representation in Japan's legislature.
The discussion around cutting proportional representation seats comes amid broader debates about electoral reform in Japan. The LDP has historically relied on a mixed electoral system, which includes both single-member districts and proportional representation, to maintain its dominance in Japanese politics.
The potential reduction of proportional representation seats highlights a significant shift in the LDP's approach to electoral strategy. By seeking to streamline representation, Takaichi may be attempting to address concerns about electoral efficiency and public sentiment towards the current political landscape.
