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

大多数观察人士预计，将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，有很多成员都己选区的情况，他们不想让他作为该的代表参加选举。

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

" 现我将接力棒交给新任总裁菅义伟。我们可以信赖他。"

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，政策研究委员会主席岸田文雄和干事长石破茂有意参加该总裁竞选。

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，岸田内阁的公众支持率已降至 17%，为 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.

政策负责人岸田文雄称，他希望确保日本应对全球挑战方面发挥更大的作用。

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

执政的及其盟友拥有三分之二的多数席位，这是他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.

现已经重新掌权近10年。

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" .

他还表示，他的从政之路是从零开始的，成长为具有历史和传统的的总裁。"

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

今晚，计票工作进行时我总部，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，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.

她今天或最近几周担任领导人以来，都未提及此事。

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

需要其联盟伙伴公明的支持才能采取此类行动。
