JP: Liberal Democrats Projected To Win Parliamentary Elections
Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi scored a political triumph Sunday as the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party headed for a landslide win in an election touted as a referendum on his push to privatize Japan's cash-swollen postal system.
Early Monday, public broadcaster NHK projected the LDP won 296 seats in parliament's 480-seat lawmaking lower house, far more than the 241 needed for a majority and the 249 seats it held when Koizumi dissolved the chamber Aug. 8. The most the party ever held was 300 of the body's then 512 seats in 1986.

Re: JP: Liberal Democrats Projected To Win Parliamentary Elections
Japan's parliament re-elected Junichiro Koizumi as prime minister Wednesday, following the ruling coalition's landslide victory in elections last week.
The 480-member lower house cast 340 votes to re-elect Koizumi. The upper house voted for Koizumi a short time after.
