Japan PM vows to continue ruling despite bruising loss

Japan’s prime minister Shigeru Ishiba has vowed to continue ruling the country despite a bruising loss suffered by his party at the general election.

The country now faces an uncertain political future as the coalition led by the long-ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) has lost its majority in parliament, its worst result in over a decade.

But in a speech on Monday, he admitted the LDP received “severe judgement” from voters, and added his party would “humbly accept” this.
