Japan's ruling party kicks off campaigning for leadership election

Campaigning for the Japanese ruling party's leadership election to choose the successor to Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga officially started Friday, with four veteran lawmakers -- two men and two women -- throwing their hats into the ring. The presidential election for the Liberal Democratic Party, set for Sept. 29, is being contested by vaccination minister Taro Kono, former Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida, former communications minister Sanae Takaichi, and Seiko Noda, executive acting secretary general of the LDP.
