Japanese Prime Minister Takaichi Sanae announced she will dissolve the House of Representatives on Jan 23, calling for a snap election to be held on Feb 8. This sets a postwar record with a mere 16-day campaign period. Takaichi stated she seeks a public mandate for her coalition with the Nippon Ishin party and policies including a temporary zero tax rate on food. The move, abruptly interrupting parliamentary budget debates, was criticized by opposition parties for creating a "political vacuum." The election results will determine if her ruling bloc can secure a stable majority.(Photo/VCG)
