President of the Houseof Councillors Yuji Osada Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) Bunbei Hara Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) House of Councillors elections were held in Japan in 1995. Because of the circumstances of its creation, the opposition party New Frontier Party held seats in the House of Councillors without having won them in the prior election. Many of them were former members of the LDP. The elections was historic in that the New Frontier Party replaced the Japanese Socialist Party, which had been the largest opposition party for 38 years, and entered coalition with the Liberal Democratic Party. The Socialists lost many seats in this election. The elections were considered a referendum on the sitting coalition government.Thies Michael F 1995 The Japanese House of Councillors election of 1995 http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0261-3794(96)81773-2 Electoral Studies 14 4 464–470 10.1016/0261-3794(96)81773-2 0261-3794 subscription Results File:Japan_House of Councillors_1995.svg National Constituency Not up Won Totalafter +/– New Frontier Party 12506322 18 11003681 22 16 40 56 New Liberal Democratic Party 11096972 15 10557547 31 61 46 107 +1 Japan Socialist Party 6882919 9 4926003 7 22 16 38 –33 Japanese Communist Party 3873955 5 4314830 3 6 8 14 +3 New Party Sakigake 1455886 2 1059353 1 0 3 3 New Dainiin Club 1282596 1 1 1 2 0 Sports and Peace Party 541894 0 1 0 1 –1 Party for Peace and Citizens 377786 0 579377 1 1 1 2 New Democratic Reform Party 1854175 2 0 2 2 –10 Komeito 11 0 11 –13 Other parties 2649930 0 1158004 0 1 0 1 – Independents 6120099 9 6 9 15 +7 2391861 1501654 126 126 252 0 96759025 96759025 Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications,Table 13: Persons Elected and Votes Polled by Political Parties - Ordinary Elections for the House of Councillors (1947–2004) https://web.archive.org/web/20110323055016/http://www.stat.go.jp/data/chouki/zuhyou/27-13.xls 2011-03-23 Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications27-11 Allotted Number, Candidates, Eligible Voters as of Election Day, Voters and Voting Percentages of Ordinary Elections for the House of Councillors (1947-2004) http://www.stat.go.jp/data/chouki/zuhyou/27-11.xls live Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications https://web.archive.org/web/20060104111057/http://www.stat.go.jp:80/data/chouki/zuhyou/27-11.xls 2006-01-04 Tottori Prefecture, National Diet By constituency ConstituencyTotalseatsSeats wonLDPNFPJSPJCPNPSDRPDCPPCInd.Aichi3111Akita11Aomori11Chiba211Ehime11Fukui11Fukuoka211Fukushima211Gifu211Gunma211Hiroshima211Hokkaido211Hyōgo211Ibaraki211Ishikawa11Iwate11Kagawa11Kagoshima211Kanagawa3111Kōchi11Kumamoto211Kyoto211Mie11Miyagi211Miyazaki11Nagano211Nagasaki11Nara11Niigata211Ōita11Okinawa11Okayama211Osaka3111Saga11Saitama3111Shiga11Shimane11Shizuoka211Tochigi211Tokushima11Tokyo41111Tottori11Toyama11Wakayama11Yamagata11Yamaguchi11Yamanashi11National5015189521Total126474016832118 References Japan House Category:House of Councillors (Japan) elections House Category:Election and referendum articles with incomplete results
