CCTV News (midnight news): Indonesia’s new president has stood out in the election, and elections in Japan and Afghanistan are also in full swing. In less than half a month, Japan’s 45th House of Representatives election will begin. On the morning of 18th, the House of Representatives of the Japanese National Assembly officially announced the campaign announcement of this House of Representatives election, which indicated that a fierce battle for Japanese political power would be "fully launched". For details, see the report sent back by our correspondent Yan Sun in Tokyo.
With the announcement of the 45th Japanese House of Representatives election on the 18th, the 12-day general election campaign officially kicked off. From 8: 30 a.m. to 17: 00 p.m. local time on the 18th, candidates from 300 small constituencies and 11 proportional representative districts in Japan submitted their applications for election. They will compete for 480 seats in the House of Representatives in the general election on the 30th. According to the regulations, the political party with more than half of the seats will be responsible for forming a cabinet and taking power, and the representative or president elected by the party will serve as the Japanese Prime Minister.
After Announcement No.18 was issued, leaders and candidates of all political parties took to the streets to give speeches to publicize their opinions to voters and seek support.
According to the latest opinion poll conducted by Kyodo News, at present, the support rate of the Democratic Party is still significantly ahead of that of the Liberal Democratic Party. Although the gap has narrowed, the overall situation has not changed.
Among them, 32.6% of the respondents indicated that they would support the Democratic Party in the proportional representation election, while only 16.5% supported the Liberal Democratic Party. When asked "Who is more qualified for the post of Prime Minister, Aso or Hatoyama", 48.6% chose Hatoyama and 19.5% chose Aso. Some experts pointed out that if there is no accident, the victory of the opposition Democratic Party on August 30 may be a foregone conclusion.
