Prime Minister Eisaku Satō had dissolved parliament in 1966, following a number of what was called Black Fog Incidents ja 黒い霧事件_(政界), such as the resignation of Transport Minister Seijuro Arafune and calls for greater reform in 1966. The results did not radically alter the landscape of Japanese politics, although both the government and opposition were disappointed; the Liberal Democratic Party's vote share fell below 50% for the first time ever, and the Japan Socialist Party also lost seats, with Kōzō Sasaki, who had served as Chairman, resigning a few months after the election. However, more minor opposition parties made gains. This was the first election in which Komeito ran, and won nearly 25 seats, with the DSP also seeing a gain of six seats to hit thirty. The Japanese Communist Party also saw a slight increase in vote count, though did not gain any seats.
