"the LDP was likely to win 275 to 310 seats in the 480-seat lower house, against 55 to 77 seats to DPJ. New Komeito, LDP's coalition partner, was likely to win 27 to 35 seats...that could give the conservative coalition a more than two-thirds majority in the lower house, enough to override the upper house, in which no party has overall control."
