>The founder and secretary general of Japan's nationalist Sanseito political party, 47-year-old Sohei Kamiya, was the single biggest winner in Sunday's election for the upper house of parliament.
This is only partly true because the political candidate in the House of Councillors election with the highest total amount of votes was actually Haruo Kitamura from the Conservative Party of Japan, which is considered more nationalist and right wing than Sanseito.
Haruo Kitamura got 975,122 votes, which was the top vote count among all candidates in the House of Councillors.
The main reason why Conservative Party of Japan won less seats than Sanseito is because they only ran 9 candidates: four candidates in the proportional representation district and five in the electoral district.
