Takaichi hopes to consolidate her power and secure clear authorization for her spending and investment plans, which have unsettled some investors. Takaichi has stated she will stake her job on the election results and will resign if the ruling coalition fails to win a majority in the more powerful House of Representatives. Takaichi currently holds a slim majority of 233 of the 465 seats in the House of Representatives. Polls suggest she is poised for a landslide victory. The Nikkei reports that the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its smaller ruling coalition partner, the Japan Restoration Party, could win over 300 seats. The Mainichi Shimbun states that the LDP alone could win 300 seats, meaning the ruling coalition could secure two-thirds of the House of Representatives. Despite this, the Middle Way Reform Coalition appears to be struggling to win over voters. Some polls suggest the party may ultimately lose half of its seats. In a rare winter election, snowfall in the north could also reduce voter turnout and weaken support for Kaohsiung, especially given that she relies on personal popularity rather than organized voting to increase the Liberal Democratic Partys seats.February 8th - The "Implementation Opinions on Promoting High-Quality Urban Development" was recently issued, proposing to promote the coordinated development of large, medium, and small cities.
