Expected snap poll by Japan amid worries over North Korea crisis

Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe on Thursday will dissolve the parliament’s lower house for a snap election according to party official. This is a move to take advantage of improved ratings and opposition disarray.

Junior coalition partner of Abe, Natuo Yamaguchi who is the head of the Komeito party said that he understood that the election will be held on Oct 22.

Abe who has been in power for the last five years is expected to put pledges on better child care and education along with his tough stance on North Korea. Abe is also expected to revise the constitution at the forefront of his campaign.

The rating of Abe have risen from thirty percent in July to a staggering 50 percent. Abe is now gambling that his ruling bloc can keep its lower house majority even if they lose the two thirds “super majority” which is needed to achieve his long held goal of revising the post war pacifist constitution in order to clarify the role of the military.

A survey by Nikkei business daily had shown that about 44 percent of voters had planned to vote for Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) versus 8 percent for the main opposition Democratic Party, while another 8 percent sought to vote for a new party which was launched by the popular Tokyo Governor Yuriko Koike.

Some critics say that Abe has risked creating a political vacuum at a time when geo-political tensions over North Korea are rising.
