No one wins the first round of voting in the Japanese House of Representatives Prime Minister nomination election, Shigeru Ishiba and Yoshihiko Noda enter the runoff

PANews reported on November 11 that, according to Jinshi, on November 11 local time, Japan held a special session of the Diet to elect the Prime Minister. In the first round of the House of Representatives' Prime Minister election, none of the candidates received the required number of votes, and the voting will proceed to the final round. In this round, the top two vote-getters were Shigeru Ishihara, the president of the Liberal Democratic Party, and Yoshihiko Noda, the leader of the largest opposition party, the Constitutional Democratic Party. The two will advance to the final round of voting. Previously, the ruling coalition in Japan failed to secure a majority of seats in the House of Representatives, and Shigeru Ishihara may become one of the "shortest-lived" prime ministers in Japan.
