TOKYO — Prime Minister Abe’s ruling party suffered humiliating losses in parliamentary elections yesterday after a string of scandals, exit polls showed, but Mr. Abe said he did not plan to resign. The Liberal Democratic Party, which has ruled Japan almost without interruption since 1955, was set to lose its majority in the Upper House while the leading opposition party made huge gains, according to exit polls broadcast by Japanese television networks. Mr. Abe told reporters at his party’s headquarters that he intends to stay on despite the disappointing results, and accepts responsibility for the defeat.
