The five candidates in the Liberal Democratic Party presidential race unveiled their platforms to fellow lawmakers Thursday, stressing their experience and trying to differentiate themselves from each other.

The five — LDP Secretary General Taro Aso, economy and fiscal policy minister Kaoru Yosano, former Defense Minister Shigeru Ishiba, former anchorwoman and ex-Defense Minister Yuriko Koike and former LDP policy chief Nobuteru Ishihara — lined up at LDP headquarters in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo.

Each had 15 minutes to outline their policies. There were no debates or question-and-answer sessions.
