Two cabinet members, Takashi Fukaya and Tokuichiro Tamazawa, lost their seats.

[1] Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi suffered a stroke in April 2000 and was replaced by Yoshiro Mori.

Although the term limit for the House of Representatives would have been reached in October 2000, Mori dissolved the House on June 2 in what became popularly known as the Divine Nation Dissolution (神の国解散) due to a controversial statement by Mori prior to the election, which preceded a slump in government approval ratings from 40% to 20%.

An electoral alliance between the once rivals of the Komeito and the LDP has been in effect since the Japanese General election in 2000.
