Japan’s House of Representatives was dissolved in late January 2026, triggering a February 8 snap election that delivered Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s Liberal Democratic Party a commanding two-thirds majority alongside coalition partners. The newly seated chamber began a standard four-year term extending into 2030, leaving no scheduled electoral deadline or immediate procedural trigger for further dissolution. With the ruling bloc holding a stable supermajority and no reported legislative deadlock, party revolt, or loss of confidence motion on the horizon, traders assign only a low probability to another dissolution before year-end. Late-breaking developments such as a sudden coalition fracture, major scandal, or unforeseen national crisis remain the primary theoretical paths that could reopen the possibility, though none appear imminent.
