Japan's ruling party loses all 3 seats in special vote, seen as punishment for corruption scandal

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's governing party is projected to have lost all three seats in parliamentary by-elections due to a slush funds scandal, based on media exit polls and preliminary results.
The loss of the Liberal Democratic Party is seen as backlash for their involvement in a corruption scandal undermining Kishida's leadership.
A scandal involving unreported political funds from party events led to indictments of 10 people and admissions of funds not reported by over 80 lawmakers, potentially violating the Political Funds Control Law.
