TOKYO(AFP) - Japan voted Sunday in an election predicted to deliver a stern rebuke to outspoken conservative Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and possibly pressure him to quit. Abe, who has championed building a more assertive nation prouder of its past, has come under fire over a raft of scandals including the government's mismanagement of the pension system.

He has chosen to be ambiguous, perhaps to calm down fears within Japan that his well-known advocacy of a tougher foreign policy might lead to renewed militarism, but also to keep his neighbors, the two Koreas and China, guessing as to what exactly he plans to do as Prime Minister.
