Japan's Prime Minister Fumio Kishida has declared victory for his ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP). In a big win for Kishida, who only became PM a month ago, his party secured more than 233 lower house seats - enough to govern without its coalition partner Komeito.

Of the 20 members, 13 have no previous Cabinet experience, three are women and the average age is 61.
