Of the lower house seats, 289 were decided in single-member constituencies under a first-past-the-post system. Another 176 were filled by 
proportional representation, in which parties are awarded seats based on how many votes they get in 11 regional blocks.

Amari lost the single-member district seat in his constituency in Kanagawa Prefecture to the CDPJ's Hideshi Futori, but he will remain in the 
lower house by taking a seat through proportional representation.

general election, compared with just over 11% for the main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan (CDP), according to the latest 
Kyodo News survey."
