Japan's ruling party, led by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, is projected to have won Sunday's snap election by a landslide.
An exit poll by public broadcaster NHK suggests that the coalition led by Takaichi's Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) is set to win two-thirds of the seats in Japan's House of Representatives.
The LDP alone is forecast to have a majority of seats.
The country's first female Prime Minister had sought a clear public mandate by calling the election just four months after becoming party leader.
Her reported success is in marked contrast to her two predecessors, under whom the party lost its parliamentary majority due to corruption scandals and rising costs.
