The parliamentary election in Japan has begun, with voters deciding the fate of Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's government. The election is expected to punish his coalition over a funding scandal and inflation, potentially ending the Liberal Democratic Party's decade-long dominance. Opinion polls suggest that the LDP and its partner Komeito may lose their parliamentary majority, forcing Ishiba into power-sharing negotiations with smaller parties.
