Japan's ruling party set to lose majority, exit polls suggest

Exit polls in Japan suggest the ruling party might lose majority in the upper house election, a blow to Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba amid economic challenges and US trade threats. The coalition needs 50 seats to keep control, but projections point to a potential loss. If Ishiba's party falls short in the election, it could lead to his resignation and open doors for other LDP members to vie for leadership, impacting Japan's political landscape and ongoing trade negotiations with the US.
