Quick Glance: Shinzo Abe's Party Wins Parliamentary Vote, Extending Legacy
  • The Liberal Democrats, who are in power, are striving for a supermajority.

  • TOKYO — Two days after former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated at a campaign stop on Friday, his Liberal Democratic Party and its allies surged to victory in a parliamentary election, giving them the opportunity to pursue Mr. Abe's long-held dream of amending Japan's pacifist Constitution.

  • Aside from party power struggles, the main question may be whether Mr. Kishida has his own vision in the end.

  • Ayumi Sekizawa, 31, a real estate agent in Tokyo, said he voted for the Liberal Democrats in part to demonstrate his support following Mr. Abe's death.
