Japan election: Abe set to win key upper house vote
July 21, 2013
Voters in Japan are casting ballots in upper house elections expected to deliver a win for PM Shinzo Abe. Half of the 242 seats in the chamber are being contested.
Polls show Mr Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) and its allies could secure a majority, meaning a ruling party would control both houses of parliament for the first time in six years.
