Akbar won support<br>\nfrom Central Kalimantan, West Java, Jambi, Bangka Belitung and<br>\nWest Kalimantan.<\/p>\n<p>The party will short-list five presidential candidates during<br>\na meeting between Oct. 17 and Oct. 19.<\/p>\n<p>Akbar said his status as a graft convict had put him in a<br>\ndifficult situation in his bid for presidency. He pleaded not<br>\nguilty despite the conviction. -- JP<\/p>",
