Shinzo Abe wins landslide in Japan re-election

Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has won an overwhelming election victory, which may see him become the longest-serving PM in that country’s history.

Shinzo Abe has overseen drastic economic improvements following more radical economic policies early in his tenure as Japan’s Prime Minister. And, with the NKY now up for 14 straight days (admittedly not as impressive as 6 weeks of gains here in the U.S.), the Japanese citizenry has marked its vast approval of Abe’s administration. The Prime Minister has also indicated he wishes to make amendments to the Japanese constitution for the first time since its implementation 70 years ago. Presumably, these would also pertain to measures that would help grow the Japanese economy and help keep it competitive in the global marketplace.

Japan has enjoyed economic growth now for a year and a half, following literally decades of stagnation. And with Abe’s ambitious policies continuing to point the way forward, he would look to become the longest-serving Japanese Prime Minister to serve in that country’s history, as of November 2019.
