 The 2024 general election broke records for women’s representation in the House of Representatives, although the percentage of female members of parliament (MPs) in the Lower House remains much lower than the global average. Seventy-three women were elected in 2024, accounting for 15.7% of the seats. This chapter examines the results of the election by gender, party, and constituency of candidates, classifies the previous careers of female newcomer candidates and winners, and investigates the issue positions of candidates on the legislation of dual surnames for married couples, paying particular attention to the changes among Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) members.
