(MaceNews) – Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba was re-elected in a rare parliamentary run-off vote on Monday after the ruling coalition lost a majority in the Lower House general election about two weeks ago as many voters, weary of high costs, punished Ishiba’s conservative Liberal Democratic Party for its political funding scandal.

Ishiba continues to face the challenge of running a minority government in a hung parliament. He was scheduled to be sworn as Japan’s 103rd prime minister late on Monday.
