Japan's government may delay election reform after landslide victory
Japan's ruling coalition led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi is likely to postpone or abandon its pledge for comprehensive election reform after a sweeping victory in February's election. Analysts say the overwhelming majority gives the government little incentive to change a system that helped consolidate Takaichi's position. Without public pressure or opposition demands, fundamental changes are unlikely, making election reform a lower priority.
