The result was a victory for the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which won 283 of the 467 seats.

Most commentators believed that the election results would not radically alter the Japanese political landscape, and this was confirmed in the results, which did not see any party win or lose a large amount of seats.

Although the LDP lost 13 seats, 12 LDP-aligned independents were also elected.

The elections also saw the defeat of two former prime ministers; Tetsu Katayama of the DSP (formerly of the JSP) and Tanzan Ishibashi of the LDP.
