Koike will not be resigning:

Also, we have some extremely sore losers in Aichi's 7th district:

As I have already posted, Koike has already stated that she will NOT step down.

I'm surprised that no one has defected to another party yet. Unless it isn't being reported on.

the CDP is doing quite well for an opposition party in Japan. Why would they want to merge with a falling center-right party? It just doesn't seem logical.

It seems that compared to historical opposition approval, CDP seems to be holding up pretty well compared to the old Democratic parties.

CDP will still fly high above them imo. I don't think this merger will help either the Kibo wing or the DP wing.

Who would be the next leader after Abe goes? Omura? Okada?

If things stay like this, the opposition could be in one of the best positions it's ever been in to defeat the LDP imo.

Which is exactly why Abe called the election early. He has another five years to bounce back from this and as soon as his approvals are high he'll immediately call another snap election.
The LDP leadership election happens in September. Japan will have a new PM after that election, it's almost certain right now.

You got the colors the wrong way around I think, I would have assumed that red was LDP-KP on that map, also how it says ruling party under the red scale.

Also, today marks exactly one year since the formation of the Constitutional Democratic Party.

Just saw a prediction that seems extremely pro-opposition, done by Nogami Tadaoki (野上忠興) in the Weekly post (週刊ポスト)
