Exit polls: Japan's ruling party loses seats
None
Japanese media are projecting that the ruling Democrats lost seats in a parliamentary election, dealing a setback to the progressive party's 10-month old government.
Public broadcaster NHK predicted that the Democratic Party of Japan won less than 50 contested seats in Sunday's upper house election, down from 54 before the polls. Other TV stations put the DPJ at 47 to 48 seats. (AP)
