For three years, the once fringe opposition party called Sanseito, held just one seat in Japan's 248-seat upper house. But in the recent election, Sanseito emerged as one of the biggest winners of Japan's election, walking away with 14 seats. The party was born in 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic, where it gained prominence with YouTube videos that spread conspiracy theories about vaccinations. More recently, it has built its platform on a nationalist "Japanese First" agenda, warning against a "silent invasion of foreigners". The leader of Sanseito party - Sohei Kamiya, is a supermarket manager, English teacher and YouTuber, who is being seen as the new Donald Trump. n18oc_world n18oc_crux
