Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was re-elected as head of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party in a landslide victory against his opponent. Winning 70 percent of the votes, Abe is on path to be Japan's leader for three more years. He may also be emboldened to pursue his long-time goal of revising Japan's pacifist constitution. The 63-year-old Abe has been prime minister since December 2012. If he maintains his term until 2021, he will have become Japan's longest-serving leader.
