PKB celebrates
\n7th anniversary<\/p>\n
SURABAYA: The National Awakening Party's (PKB) seventh
\nanniversary celebrations here on Saturday were held in a muted
\nfashion after a no-show by the party's founder amid an ongoing
\ninternal conflict.<\/p>\n
Former president Abdurrahman \"Gus Dur\" Wahid did not attend
\nthe gathering attended by some 3,000 party faithful because of
\nillness, although he did deliver a recorded speech through video.<\/p>\n
In the speech, Gus Dur urged the party members to support the
\ncurrent PKB leadership, led by Muhaimin Iskandar, whom he
\ndescribed as the legitimate chairman of the party.<\/p>\n
Muhaimin was elected as the party chairman in April. But his
\nleadership has been challenged by Alwi Shihab and Saifullah
\nYusuf, the former party chairman and secretary general
\nrespectively, who were suspended last year after the two joined
\nPresident Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's Cabinet.<\/p>\n
While the crowd stayed somber throughout Muhaimin's speech,
\nthe mood quickly changed when the country's top pop band Dewa
\ncame on stage and performed their first song Pangeran Cinta
\n(Prince of Love). -- Antara<\/p>",
