Most commentators believed that the election results would not radically alter the Japanese political landscape, and this was confirmed in the results, which did not see any party win or lose a large number of seats. Although the LDP lost 13 seats, 12 LDP-aligned independents were also elected. The highest gain in seats came from the Democratic Socialist Party (DSP), which tactically fielded far fewer candidates than the previous elections and concentrated on fewer districts, gaining six seats, which was more than any of the other opposition parties gained. The elections also saw the defeat of two former prime ministers: Tetsu Katayama of the DSP (formerly of the JSP) and Tanzan Ishibashi of the LDP.Baerwald Hans H. 1964-01-01 Japan at Election Time https://online.ucpress.edu/as/article/4/1/646/91585/Japan-at-Election-Time Asian Survey en 4 1 646–655 10.2307/3023540 3023540 0004-4687 subscription Results File:Japan House of Representatives 1963.svg Liberal Democratic Party 22423915 283 −13 Japan Socialist Party 11906766 144 −1 Democratic Socialist Party 3023302 23 +6 Japanese Communist Party 1646477 5 +2 Other parties 59765 0 – Independents 1956313 12 +7 442406 58281678 0 Baerwald, Mackie By prefecture PrefectureTotalseatsSeats wonLDPJSPDSPJCPInd.Aichi1911611Akita8431Aomori7331Chiba131021Ehime9531Fukui431Fukuoka191072Fukushima1293Gifu963Gunma1073Hiroshima12921Hokkaido2210912Hyōgo188631Ibaraki12831Ishikawa6411Iwate862Kagawa6411Kagoshima11641Kanagawa13751Kōchi541Kumamoto1082Kyoto104321Mie9621Miyagi9531Miyazaki642Nagano13841Nagasaki9621Nara532Niigata15951Ōita752Okayama1064Osaka198632Saga532Saitama1385Shiga532Shimane541Shizuoka14941Tochigi1073Tokushima541Tokyo2713122Tottori431Toyama651Wakayama642Yamagata862Yamaguchi9432Yamanashi541Total46728314423512 References Japan General Category:General elections in Japan Japan Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results
