Reuters---The DPJ won 44 seats, far short of Kan's goal of 54, and its partner the People's New Party got none. The main opposition Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) won 51 seats.
The Democrats still control the powerful lower house. But they need help from other parties to push bills through the upper house as they struggle to end decades of stagnation in the world's No.2 economy and to cut public debt.
WP:The progressive Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) fell short of almost every target in the election for the upper house: With 121 seats up for grabs, it needed 60 for a majority and 54 to meet Prime Minister Naoto Kan's goal. Instead, it won 44 seats, according to unofficial results, guaranteeing the opposition control of the upper house -- a "twisted" Diet that will thwart ambitious legislation.
