\nunchecked,\" said Yusuf.<\/p>\n

Hamzah bid a ploy
\nto block Amien: PKB<\/p>\n
SURAKARTA, Central Java: The deputy chairman of the National
\nAwakening Party (PKB), Mahfud M.D., shared on Thursday an
\nanalysis of incumbent Vice President Hamzah Haz's bid for the
\npresidency.<\/p>\n
During a seminar in Surakarta, he said United Development
\nParty (PPP) chairman Hamzah was running for president not because
\nhe sought the presidency; instead, the move was intentionally
\naimed at blocking Amien Rais' chances.<\/p>\n
\"If Hamzah runs for president, it will divide Muslim votes
\nbetween him and Amien, who will get less votes, and open the way
\nfor Megawati to make it to the runoff,\" said Mahfud.<\/p>\n
During the September runoff, he added, Hamzah would mobilize
\nhis supporters to vote for Megawati. -- Antara<\/p>",
