VOICED : Amplia victoria del primer ministro Abe en Japon

Shinzo Abe, Japan's conservative leader, secured a significant majority in the early legislative elections, focusing on the North Korean threat. His coalition with the Komeito party won at least 310 of 465 seats in the Lower House, according to NHK estimates. Abe, in power since 2012, could remain until 2021, potentially becoming Japan's longest-serving prime minister. He called early elections due to a fragmented opposition. With a two-thirds majority, Abe can propose a referendum to amend Japan's pacifist constitution, established in 1947 by the U.S., which renounces war.
