## LDP-JIP coalition one year later
One year after Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi formed a coalition with the Japan Innovation Party (JIP), the partnership remains unstable.
## Parliamentary successes
The coalition has achieved some parliamentary successes but faces legislative gaps and internal LDP dissent.
## Komeito departure
Komeito, LDP's coalition partner since 1999, left due to disagreements with Takaichi's conservative policy approach.
## Coalition future uncertain
The coalition's future remains uncertain despite the lack of immediate dissolution.
## Key takeaway

Japan's LDP-JIP coalition remains unstable despite one year of partnership due to legislative gaps and internal LDP dissent.
