Japan's PM Shigeru Ishiba remains in office despite LDP losing majority in snap elections amid scandal.

Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has committed to remaining in office despite his Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) facing its worst electoral outcome in 15 years, losing its majority in recent snap elections. The elections, called shortly after Ishiba took office on October 1, were marred by public discontent over a slush fund scandal. Ishiba emphasized the need for political stability and reform moving forward.
