A TV report says exit polls show the opposition Democratic Party of Japan has won a landslide victory in nationwide parliamentary elections.
Public broadcaster NHK television said Sunday that the Democrats were set to win about 300 seats in the 480 seat lower house of parliament. The Democrats currently have 112 seats.
Polls by major newspapers said Hatoyama's party is likely to win more than 320 seats in the 480-seat lower house, sharply higher than the 112 it held before parliament was dissolved in July. The Democratic Party would need to win only a simple majority of 241 seats in the lower house to assure that it can name the next prime minister.
