History

The last lower house elections were held in 1996.

Obuchi died on April 1st. Mori emerged from the leadership contest as the new prime minister, but due to a series of gaffes he was deeply unpopular. The most notable of these gaffes involved referring to Japan as a divine nation (神の国, kami no kuni), invoking language from Imperial Japanese law.

While the elections were technically called early, the diet's term would have expired just a couple months later in October.
