Japan's new prime minister, Fumio Kishida, is running in a tightrope general election on Sunday that could see his ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) lose its majority in the powerful lower house.
He is expected to push for expansive fiscal policy, measures that promote wealth re-distribution and the restart of nuclear power plants.Voter turnout will be key, and a high turnout typically favours the opposition, according to Koichi Nakano, a political science professor at Sophia University.The second-lowest turnout in post-war Japan was in the 2017 lower house election, at 53.7%.
His economic security agenda includes protecting sensitive technologies to communications, energy, transportation, finance and healthcare. Arguing that Japan must revert to nuclear power to meet a pledge to be carbon neutral by 2050, Amari has struggled to attract support from the anti-nuclear Komeito.
