Voting has come to a close in Japan’s rare snap election. Voters braved the snow to cast their ballots in what many are seeing as a referendum on Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi’s leadership. Japan’s first female prime minister is hoping that strong approval ratings will translate into a bigger mandate in parliament for her party. Opinion polls suggest the gamble may pay off, with many voters drawn to her direct style.
