Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party secured a supermajority in the February 2026 lower house election following the January dissolution, giving the ruling LDP-Japan Innovation Party coalition firm control of the House of Representatives through at least 2028. With no scheduled general election due until 2028 and an extraordinary Diet session set for early October focused on tax cuts and seat reductions, traders see little incentive for another snap dissolution before year-end. Recent cabinet continuity and rising approval ratings further support stability. A sudden scandal, sharp economic downturn, or major foreign policy crisis could still prompt reconsideration, though no such triggers appear imminent.
