Inauguration for councilors delayed<\/p>\n
TANGERANG (JP): The inauguration of new Tangerang regency
\ncouncil members was delayed on Thursday due to "technical
\nproblems", the council's secretary Darmawan said.<\/p>\n
According to a tentative schedule, the 45 members, including
\nfive representatives from the Indonesian Military (TNI), who were
\nappointed by their parties based on the results of the recent
\npolls, would read their oaths on Saturday, Darwawan said.<\/p>\n
"We were supposed to hold the ceremony on Thursday ... but
\nsome problems, such as the lack of required documents from the
\ncouncilor candidates occurred," he said.<\/p>\n
Head of Tangerang District Court, Soebardi, is scheduled to
\nlead the inauguration ceremony.<\/p>\n
Seven of the 45 new members are old faces on the council.<\/p>\n
The council members include 16 representatives from the
\nIndonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan), seven
\nfrom Golkar, six from the United Development Party (PPP), four
\nfrom the National Mandate Party (PAN), and one each from the
\nCrescent Star Party (PBB), the Nadlatul Ummat Party (PNU), the
\nUnited Party (PP), the Justice and Unity Party (PKP) and the
\nJustice Party (PK).<\/p>\n
There are also uncertainties surrounding the inauguration of
\nnew Tangerang mayoralty councilors.<\/p>\n
Said Endrawiyanto, spokesman of the local mayoralty election
\ncommittee, said the main cause for the delay was that many
\nexecutives from the political parties were still resolving
\ninternal party problems.<\/p>\n
Major parties, including PDI Perjuangan, PKP, and PP, are yet
\nto submit the list of their legislator candidates as required by
\nthe committee.<\/p>\n
"But we'll just have to go on without them if the matter is
\nnot resolved by the latest on Thursday," Said said. (41\/edt)<\/p>",
