Contesting parties Government Liberal Democratic Party (conservative) New Komeito (theocratic Buddhist, conservative) Opposition Democratic Party (social-democratic/liberal) Japanese Communist Party (communist) Social Democratic Party (social-democratic) Results The opposition Democratic Party won a plurality of the popular vote and seats contested in the election, sweeping the liberal urban areas. The ruling Liberal Democratic Party failed to win in its strongholds but once more received most of its support from the agrarian areas. New Komeito did well, reaching its goals, as did the Social Democratic Party. The Japanese Communist Party did not reach its goals, while independents won the rest of the seats. The Liberal League and Green Political Assembly failed to win any seats.
