Japanese general election, 2005
Japan held a nationwide election to the House of Representatives, the more powerful lower house of the National Diet, on 11 September, 2005, about two years before the end of the term taken from the last election in 2003. The then Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi called the election after bills to privatize Japan Post were voted down in the upper house (which cannot be dissolved), despite strong opposition within his own Liberal Democratic Party (Japan) (LDP).
