Japan Politics Election
Prime Minister Taro Aso, leader of the Liberal Democratic Party, bows as he arrives to speak to the media while observing the result of the parliamentary elections ballot counting at the party headquarters in Tokyo Sunday, Aug. 30, 2009. Aso conceded defeat in elections Sunday as media exit polls indicated the opposition had won by a landslide, sending the conservatives out of power after 54 years of nearly unbroken rule amid widespread economic anxiety and desire for change.
