    JapanThe ruling coalition lost its parliamentary majority in Sunday’s national elections, increasing uncertainty over the composition of the next government and the prospects for the world’s fourth-largest economy.
    Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba The Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has ruled Japan for most of its post-war history, and its coalition partner Komeito won 215 seats in the lower house of Parliament, public broadcaster NHK reported .

    That’s down from the 279 seats they previously held and is the coalition’s worst election result since it briefly lost power in 2009.

    “This election was very difficult for us,” a somber-looking Ishiba told TV Tokyo.

    Komeito’s Keiichi Ishii, who took over as leader of the party last month, lost in his constituency.
