Explainer-Five reasons why Japan’s election is the most unpredictable in years

TOKYO, Jan 30 (Reuters) - Japan’s Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has called a snap lower house election on February 8, which analysts say is shaping as one of the most unpredictable contests in years.

Recent surveys put her approval rating among voters under 30 more than 20 points higher than among those in their 70s. 🔗 Leggi su Internazionale.it
