Tokyo, January 29 (IANS) Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is on course to secure a majority in the House of Representatives election set to be conducted on February 8, local media reported on Thursday, citing opinion polls conducted by two media outlets. The two opinion polls have indicated that LDP is expected to emerge strong in the elections, particularly in districts which have conservative voters in large numbers. Under the proportional representation system, the LDP is projected to win 70 or more seats, increasing from 59 in the previous Lower House election. Meanwhile, Yomiuri Shimbun poll suggested that LDP is likely to secure a majority in the upcoming election, with strong leads in the Chugoku and Kyushu regions. Notably, Prime Ministers in Japan can dissolve the lower house; however, it is the first time that a lower house is dissolved at the start of a regular session in six decades.
