Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) President Yukio Hatoyama was elected as Japan's 93rd prime minister at a special Diet session Wednesday, succeeding Taro Aso of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP)。
In the voting at the session, Hatoyama garnered 327 votes at the 480-seat lower house and 124 at the 242-seat upper house, winning elections in both chambers of the Diet。
The election of Hatoyama to the top government office came as widely expected as the DPJ-led tripartite coalition with the Social Democratic Party (SDP) and the People's New Party (PNP) commands majorities in both houses of the Diet。
