- 2026.1.9 (Yomiuri)
Prime Minister Takaichi (LDP Chairman) began considering the dissolution of the House of Representatives just before the opening of the regular Diet, scheduled to convene on the 23rd, on the 9th. The House of Representatives election is likely to be held between early and mid-February. It appears the Prime Minister determined that it is necessary to secure momentum for policy implementation because the ruling party maintains a minority status in the House of Councillors.
