Japan's ruling coalition is likely to lose its majority in upper house elections on July 20, raising the risk of political instability as the country struggles to reach a trade deal with the United States, the Asahi Shimbun newspaper said Tuesday. Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba's ruling Liberal Democratic Party and its coalition partner, Komeito, are likely to win about 35 seats in Sunday's election, short of the 50 the LDP must retain to defend its majority. The report was based on telephone and web surveys of voters conducted July 13-14, as well as nationwide surveys conducted by the newspaper's reporters. Support for the Ishiba government has slipped due to rising living costs, including a surge in the price of rice, Japan's staple food. (Kim Ten)
