Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's conservative coalition scored a convincing upper house election win, putting it on course for a two-thirds majority that would allow Abe to press ahead with plans to revise the country's pacifist constitution.
The Liberal Democratic Party secured 56 of the 121 seats in contention, public broadcaster NHK said, while junior coalition partner Komeito had 14. Alongside others who support Abe's view on constitutional revision, plus uncontested seats, the prime minister is set for a super majority, it said.

"I think this means I am being told to accelerate Abenomics, so I want to respond to the expectations of the people," Abe told TBS television after early results were announced.
