In Japan’s 2026 general election, Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi led the LDP to the largest single-party majority of the postwar era. The victory was buoyed both by Takaichi’s personal popularity and by deep disarray among the opposition parties. How much political and policy leverage does this mandate give her—and where are its limits? This Zoominar examines the sources and durability of Takaichi’s appeal, the prospects for opposition recovery, and her ability to advance an ambitious agenda spanning economic policy, constitutional revision and national defense.
