. >>> politicians in japan are chr crisscrossing the country making last-minute pitches. voters will decide on sunday who should represent them in the upper house of their diet. and as they fill out their ballots, they'll also be considering whether to give prime minister shinzo abe and his liberal democratic party more power. the ldp controls the lower house, but opposition parties hold the majority of seats in the upper chamber, and that's created a divided diet where passing legislation can be tricky. in the lead up to when japan decides, we've been looking at some of the key campaign issues and hearing from voters about what matters to them. candidates from these nine parties are running in the election. the groups qualified for political party status. others that failed to meet the standards are still fielding candidates. in all 433 candidates including independents are running in this election. now, prime minister abe sees this vote as his second shot at political redemption. he led the ldp to a crushing defeat in the 2007 upper house election then resigned. abe too
