Prime Minister Shinzo Abe claimed victory in the House of Councillors election held on 10 July. The result is very close to GR Japan's prediction two weeks ago --- the ruling coalition of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and Komeito won the majority, which will allow the government to move ahead with Abenomics,  the constitutional revision  and other policy discussions with more confident. PM Abe also confirmed that he would reshuffle his cabinet in early August. For further reports by the media, please see an article by Nikkei Asian Review from the link below.
