Japan PM says voters delivered 'severe judgement' to ruling party

TOKYO, Oct 27, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba said voters had delivered "severe judgement" to the scandal-hit ruling Liberal Democratic Party in a snap election on Sunday.

"We are receiving severe judgement," Ishiba told national broadcaster NHK, whose projections based on exit polls showed the LDP losing its majority for the first time since 2009.
