History
The last lower house elections were held in 1990.
A vote of no confidence was called on June 18th. Due to a rebellion by 39 LDP members, as well as a further 18 LDP abstentions, the government lost the vote. Miyazawa called the election rather than resign.
Results
For the first time since 1955, the LDP lost the majority.
Hosokawa rallied a coalition of 8 parties to form the first non-LDP government.
