Early general elections were held inJapan on 8 February 2026 inall constituencies, includingproportional blocks, to elect all 465 seats of theHouse of Representatives, thelower house of theNational Diet.[1]
The election took place nearly four months intoSanae Takaichi's tenure asPrime Minister of Japan, which began on 21 October after she won the2025 Liberal Democratic Party presidential election and formed theLiberal Democratic Party–Japan Innovation Party coalition (LDP–JIP). The election also saw the debut of the newly formedCentrist Reform Alliance (CRA), a new political party formed as a merger between the primary oppositionConstitutional Democratic Party (CDP) andKomeito, the LDP's former longtime coalition partner. Takaichi described the election as a public referendum on her leadership as prime minister, and of the LDP–JIP coalition.[2]
The LDP won a historiclandslide victory, with the party regaining its majority in the House and setting a new postwar record for the most seats won by a single party with 316 seats. This gave the party a two-thirdssupermajority in its own right, and surpassed the previous record of 308 seats won by theDemocratic Party of Japan in2009 and the LDP record of 300 seats won in1986. Meanwhile, the CRA severely underperformed, losing more than two-thirds of its pre-election seats and leading to the resignations of party co-leadersYoshihiko Noda andTetsuo Saito after the election.[3] Other parties that gained seats included theultraconservative andfar-right partySanseitō and the newe-democracy partyTeam Mirai.
Analysts credited the LDP's victory to Takaichi's high personal popularity at the time of the election, particularly among young voters and conservatives who had previously defected from the party, as well as to CDP and Komeito voters who opposed their parties' merger declining to support the CRA.[4][5][6]The Economist described the result as a personal mandate for Takaichi, and a repudiation of the CRA.[7] The LDP's victory marked a reversal of fortune from the2023–2024 slush fund scandal that had cost the party its majority in the previous election, with 41 of the 43 LDP candidates linked to the scandal winning their races.[8]
The2024 Japanese general election and2025 Japanese House of Councillors election both resulted in the loss of majorities for theLiberal Democratic Party (LDP) andKomeito governing coalition under Prime MinisterShigeru Ishiba.[9][10] After both elections, Ishiba invoked a parliamentary plurality in both houses, and stated that he believed the LDP had a responsibility to lead the government, as it would in most otherparliamentary democracies.[11] Pressure continued to mount on Ishiba to resign as the LDP president, but he refused and said he planned to continue serving as Prime Minister.[12]
On 7 September, Ishiba announced that he would resign as president of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan.[13][14][15] Ishiba stated he sought to claim "responsibility" as party leader for losses in recent elections, and to avoid dividing the party.[16] Ishiba's announcement effectively cancelled the emergency election process entirely. He instead instructed LDP Secretary-GeneralHiroshi Moriyama, whose resignation had not been accepted by Ishiba, to begin the process to hold an extraordinary presidential election.[17] Ishiba said he determined that now was the "appropriate time" to step aside, after a written version of the Japan–U.S. tariff agreement had been finalized.[18] Ishiba promised to continue serving as Prime Minister until a new leader was elected, and did not endorse a candidate in the subsequent election. His tenure lasted about one year.[19] In the2025 LDP leadership election on 5 October, Takaichi was elected as the LDP's first female president. In her first acts as party president, Takaichi appointedTarō Asō as vice president andShun'ichi Suzuki as secretary-general of the LDP.[20]
On 10 October, Komeito chief representativeTetsuo Saito announced that it would leave the ruling coalition, over disagreements with Takaichi's leadership and the party's handling of the2023–2024 Japanese slush fund scandal, ending 26 years of theLDP–Komeito coalition.[21] Following this, the vote to confirm Takaichi as prime minister was delayed to 20 October.[21] On 20 October, Takaichi and theJapan Innovation Party (Ishin) leaderHirofumi Yoshimura agreed to sign a coalition agreement. Takaichi was elected prime minister by the Diet on 21 October, with the support of Ishin and independents, and the right-wing conservative coalition was formed.[22]
On 13 January 2026, it emerged that Takaichi had communicated her intention to dissolve the House of Representatives,[23][24] when it re-convened on 23 January to senior LDP officials.[25][26] Subsequently, the LDP instructed its prefectural chapters to register general election candidates by 19 January.[27] Japanese national broadcasterNHK reported that theMinistry of Internal Affairs and Communications had instructed prefecturalelection boards to prepare for a general election.[28] In response to an apparently leaked LDP projection of the results of an election, LDP officials said that "260 seats seems like too much in reality", and that "within the party, it's assumed that at least a simple majority of 233 seats will be won".[29] On 19 January, Takaichi officially announced her intention to dissolve the House of Representatives on 23 January at a press conference.[30] Campaigning would begin on 27 January, with election day beginning after polls opened on 8 February. It was the shortest election campaign in Japan'spostwar history.[31]
In response to the reports of an imminent election, the CDP considered forming a new political alliance with opposition parties to run a single proportional representation list against the LDP, potentially including Komeito, who previously had a 26-year alliance with the governing LDP.[32] The CDP also instructed its prefectural chapters to meet with Komeito's local organisations, and Diet members to seek electoral cooperation.[33] On 14 January, it was found that the cooperation between the CDP and Komeito had begun with view to a merger of the two parties.[34] The merged party would caucus separately in the House of Councillors, but operate as a single party in the House of Representatives, with current CDP leaderYoshihiko Noda and Komeito leaderTetsuo Saito serving as co-leaders.[35] The merged party's proposed name wasChūdō Kaikaku (中道改革; Centrist Reform),[36][37] before its official name was finalised asChūdō Kaikaku Rengō (中道改革連合;lit. Centrist Reform Alliance) (CRA).[38] Saito said that Noda would be named prime minister if the CRA won the election.[39]
Komeito announced it would not contest any constituency seats in favour of running in the proportional blocks.[40]Jiji Press created a model of the constituency seats which projected that the LDP would win 97 constituency seats and the CDP would win 139 with the results of the 2024 election.[41]Nippon Television projected that, with a hypothetical CDP–Komeito merger, the LDP would retain just 60 of its 132 single member districts with the 2024 election.[42] As a result of this merger, the new CRA would now have 172 seats in the National Diet, thus significantly weakening the LDP's already fragile grip on power.[43][44][45]
The 465 seats of the House of Representatives are contested viaparallel voting. Of these, 289 members are elected in single-member constituencies usingfirst-past-the-post voting, while 176 members are elected in 11 multi-member constituencies via party list proportional representation. Candidates from parties with legal politicalparty-list, which requires either ≥5 Diet members or ≥1 Diet member and ≥2% of the nationwide vote in one tier of a recent national election, are allowed to stand in a constituency and be present on the party list. If they lose their constituency vote, they may still be elected in the proportionally allocated seats; however, if such a dual candidate wins less than 10% of the vote in their majoritarian constituency, they are also disqualified as a proportional candidate.[46]

Riding on the high approval ratings of her cabinet, the snap election was seen as a power move to boost Sanae Takaichi's mandate and gain a majority in the lower house,[30] which was only one seat away if including the Nippon Ishin No Kai.[48][49][50] Takaichi also announced that she would resign as prime minister if the ruling bloc did not win a majority.[51] The LDP was campaigning on its promises of increased spending, tax cuts, in the name of "responsible yet aggressive fiscal policy", and a new security strategy by abolishing the "five categories" which restricted defence equipment exports to non-combat purposes.[52] The party also looked to tighten rules on foreign acquisition of housing and land.[53]
Despite being the largest opposition party after the merge, the Centrist Reform Alliance (CRA) target of changing the government apparently faded into the background given the prevalent multi-party situation which made it difficult for a single party to gain a majority. The coalition aimed to accelerating political restructuring, with the possibility of the Democratic Party for the People (DPP) and part of the LDP joining the coalition after the election in mind.[51] Komeito candidates only ran in proportional representation seats in this election, with its voters' inclination becoming a focus of attention due to the previously longstanding cooperative relationship with the LDP.[51] The party campaigned on "putting ordinary citizens first and their livelihoods at the center" and lowering the consumption tax on food to zero, as well as theLDP slush fund scandal, by proposing stricter rules on corporate and group donations.[53][54]
Nippon Ishin No Kai, LDP coalition partner, recommended LDP candidates in over 80 constituencies.[51] The reports of an election prompted both Yoshimura (governor of Osaka Prefecture) andHideyuki Yokoyama (mayor of Osaka) to resign from their posts with the aim of running for re-election alongside the general election, as well as to seek endorsement of theOsaka Metropolis Plan.[55] The party said to carry out reforms that the LDP had not been able to implement, with the focus on national security, economic security and economic growth and the aim to reduce consumption tax on food to zero.[54]
The right-leaning DPP, which gained significant ground in the2025 Japanese House of Councillors election, pledged to ensure that everyone's take-home pay would be increased by 60,000 yen per year.[54] It also called for consumption tax reduction to 5% until wage growth stabilised at 2% above inflation.[53] The Japan Communist Party (JCP) called for immediate cut of consumption tax to 5% and its eventual abolition, while sought to legalise the option of separate surnames for married couples and same-sex marriage, as well as correcting the gender pay gap,[53] while the left-wing pacifistReiwa Shinsengumi campaigned on abolishing the consumption tax, providing a stopgap cash payment of 100,000 yen, lowering social insurance premiums and not participating in the war business.[54]
On 24 January, two new minor right-wing parties,Tax Cuts Japan and Yukoku Alliance and the New Unionist Party, were announced by former MPsKazuhiro Haraguchi (also formerMinister for Internal Affairs and Communications) andTakashi Kawamura, along with the independents.[56][57] Five incumbent MPs have joined the party, qualifying it for national party status.[58] The party also campaigned on abolishing the consumption tax and investing in developing hypersonic missiles.[53][54]Sohei Kamiya, the leader of thefar-right political partySanseitō, said that the party plans to field candidates in LDP constituencies where the incumbent has "advocated multicultural coexistence".[59] It campaigned on abolishing the consumption tax, while also opposing the "excessive acceptance of immigrants" by limiting their numbers.[54]

Overall turnout was estimated at 55.68% in single-seat districts, higher than the last election's relatively low turnout of 53.85%. Early voting turnout in 2026 amounted to over 27 million voters or 26% of the electorate, a new all-time high for both national parliamentary (Representatives/Councillors) elections. This was attributed to the harsh winter weather during the election.[80][81]
The LDP won a landslide victory, with the party winning an outright two-thirds supermajority and regaining its majority status in the chamber.[82] The LDP's total of at least 316 seats is the most ever won by a party in Japanese post-war electoral history,[83][84] surpassing the previous record of 308 seats won by the DPJ in the2009 election and its own record of 300 seats in the1986 election, as well as its previous record in terms of the share of seats from the1960 election. The total LDP–JIP coalition, including 36 seats from JIP, now composed three-fourths of the House of Representatives.[4] It was also the first time that the second-place party had less than 50 seats in Japan's postwar history.[5]
The LDP actually won enough votes to win 330 seats; however, due to so few district candidates from the LDP losing, it did not have enough candidates to fill its seats in the proportional tier. The LDP therefore forfeited 14 seats to other parties, including 6 in the Southern Kantō block, 5 in the Tokyo block, 2 in the Hokuriku-Shin'etsu block, and 1 in the Chūgoku block. These 14 seats went to the CRA (6), DPP (2), Ishin (2), Team Mirai (2), Sanseitō (1), and Reiwa Shinsegumi (1). Meanwhile, Team Mirai forfeited two seats in the Kinki block, as its district candidates did not cross the 10% eligibility threshold to be elected from the proportional tier; these two seats went to the CRA and Ishin.[85]
