Minority government of Japan PM faces tough test in upper house election; AP explains (Video)

Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishibas goal is a simple majority. Half of the 248 seats for six-year terms in the upper house are being decided, and the LDP and its junior coalition partner Komeito would need to win 50 combined. That's on top of their 75 seats that are not being contested in this election. That would be a retreat from their current number of 141 seats, but Ishiba has told reporters his goal is one that must be achieved.
