Most observers expect the LDP to keep its majority in the election.

大多数观察人士预计，自民党将在选举中保持多数席位。

The vote for the leader of the ruling LDP is set for September 29.

执政党自民党领导人的选举定于9月29日举行。

There are a lot of LDP members who, I think, are looking at what's happening in their districts and just did not want to have to go into an election with him as the face of the party.

我认为，有很多自民党成员都在关注自己选区的情况，们不作为该党的代表参加选举。

" Now I'm handing the baton to new LDP President Suga, " Abe said after the vote. " We can count on him" .

" 现在我将接力棒交给自民党新任总裁菅义伟。我们可以信赖。"

Currently, LDP Policy Research Council Chairperson Fumio Kishida, and former LDP Secretary-General Shigeru Ishiba have shown interest in running in the party's presidential race.

目，自民党政策研究委员会主席岸文雄和自民党干事长石破茂有意参加该党总裁竞选。

Meanwhile, public approval for Kishida's cabinet has dropped to 17 percent, the lowest since the LDP returned to power 11 years ago.

与此同时，岸的公众支持率已降至 17%，为自民党 11 年重新掌权以来的最低水平。

LDP policy chief Fumio Kishida says he wants to ensure that Japan will play a bigger role in addressing global challenges.

And the ruling LDP and its all allies also have a two-thirds majority, which they need to amend the constitution.

执政的自民党及其盟友拥有三分之二的多数席位，这是们修改宪法所需的席位。

But few here think this election will bring any radical shift for Japan's perennial ruling party, the LDP.

但日本很少有人认为这次选举会给日本长期执政的自民党带来根本性的转变。

And the LDP is likely to bring in about 300 of those seats for its ruling coalition.

而自民党很可能为执政联盟赢得其中300个席位。

Just 9% of LDP candidates for the upper house of parliament in 2019 backed gay marriage.

2019年，只有9%的自民党日本参议院候选人支持同性婚姻。

The LDP has now been back in power for nearly 10 years.

He added that he entered politics " starting from zero - and have been able to become leader of the LDP, with all its traditions and history" .

还表示，的从政之路是从零开始的，成长为具有历史和传统的自民党的总裁。"

I am at the LDP headquarters tonight as the vote tallies come in, and there are 465 seats up for grabs.

今晚，在计票工作进行时我在自民党总部，本次选举要争夺465个席位。

And remember that the ruling party, the LDP, has held on to power for most of the past seven decades.

请记住，执政党自民党在过去70年的大部分时间里一直掌权。

Currently, the LDP holds about 60 percent of the seats in parliament.

目，自民党在议会中拥有大约 60% 的席位。

I think one of the side effects of a convincing electoral victory, like the one we saw from Prime Minister Takayshi a couple of weeks ago, I remember that this is the first time in the LDP's history that they won a standalone supermajority.

我认为，一次令人信服的选举胜利，比如几周首相高市早苗取得的胜利，其副作用之一是，这在自民党历史上是首次赢得单独的绝对多数。

And I think the LDP turned to her really to fend off the challenge from the true populists who are emerging on Japan's political scene.

我认为自民党之所以选择她，主要是为了抵御日本政坛上日益崛起的真正民粹主义势力的挑战。

She has not made reference today or in the last couple of weeks since she became leader of the LDP.

她今天或在最近几周担任自民党领导人以来，都未提及此事。

The LDP will need support from its coalition partner, the Komeito, to get such action.

自民党需要其联盟伙伴公明党的支持才能采取此类行动。
