Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi‘s ruling party dominated a snap election on Sunday, securing a supermajority in the country’s House of Representatives and giving Takaichi an even larger mandate to pursue her right-wing agenda.

Takaichi, the first female prime minister of Japan, took a risk in calling for the election just months after entering office. While she is very popular, her Liberal Democratic Party has been hampered by a very slim majority, which she sought to expand, even threatening to resign if the LDP lost it.
