Japan PM hangs on after 'extremely regrettable' election | AFP

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba clung on Monday even after his coalition suffered what he called an "extremely regrettable" election result, as painful new US tariffs loom. "I think he should quit," one voter told AFP, referring to Ishiba. "It's going to be difficult. The opposition parties won't listen (to the LDP). They will take advantage of LDP's current unpopularity," another said.
