Abe's Wins Election in Japan

Japan held national elections, on Saturday, and to no one's surprise Shinzo Abe was elected to Prime Minister.

His Liberal Democratic party had resounding success in the elections, winning nearly three hundred of the four hundred and eighty seats, in the lower house.

Abe will be Japan's seventh prime minister, in six years, a post which he held back in 2007.

He has promised to recover Japan's economy, strengthen Japan's military, return to nuclear power, defend Japan's territory from China, and block North Korea from expanding their nuclear and missile programs.

China had warned the Japanese people to not vote for the LDP, which only further inflamed the Japanese into doing so.
