The upper house of Japan's Parliament elected a Democratic Party of Japan lawmaker as its president Tuesday, the first time an opposition member has held the post.
The upper house chose Satsuki Eda in a unanimous vote following the crushing defeat of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's ruling party in July 29 elections.
The DPJ advanced to dominate the 242-seat upper house for the first time in the elections.
