TOKYO, July 20 (Reuters) - Japan's Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba expressed his intention to stay in the position on Sunday, after his ruling Liberal Democratic Party is projected to lose the upper house majority at Sunday's election.
Ishiba, when asked by a reporter if he intends to stay as a Prime Minister and the ruling party leader, said "that's right," during a joint press interview at the party's headquarters in Tokyo as vote counts continue.
"We are engaged in extremely critical tariff negotiations with the United States...we must never ruin these negotiations," Ishiba added.
