in the class of members facing re-election, the ruling coalition of the liberal democratic party (ldp) and kōmeitō had a combined 60 of 121 seats, slightly short of a majority (as of june 2016). the main opposition democratic party held 47 seats. as the coalition held 77 seats not being contested at this election, they only needed to retain 44 seats in the election to maintain their majority in the house. the ldp, which held 117 seats alone, had to gain five seats to reach a majority of its own and make the coalition with kōmeitō unnecessary. in the other direction, the governing coalition would have to lose 16 seats or more to forfeit its overall majority in the house of councillors and face a technically divided diet. however, as independents and minor opposition groups might be willing to support the government on a regular basis without inclusion in the cabinet, the losses required to face an actual divided diet may have been much higher. if the diet were divided after the election, the coalition's two-thirds majority in the house of representatives could still override the house of councillors and pass legislation, but certain diet decisions, notably the approval of certain nominations by the cabinet such as public safety commission members or bank of japan governor, would require the cooperation of at least part of the opposition or an expansion of the ruling coalition.
