Yesterday he turned down the nomination for<br>\nthe council's leadership board for the next four-year term.<\/p>\n<p>\"Eight years are too much for me,\" Soeweno said. \"I don't<br>\ndeserve any post any longer since I failed to lead the national<br>\nteam to success during the recent Asian Games,\" he added.<\/p>\n<p>KONI will hold its election for its president in its national<br>\ncongress next week. Incumbent president Surono has hinted at his<br>\nbid for a second term, but many sports figures, including<br>\nMinister of Youth Affairs and Sports Hayono Isman suggested a<br>\nregreening in the national sports governing body.<\/p>\n<p>\"I won't have to run for any post. I have to listen to what<br>\nthe people say,\" said Soeweno, a former chief of Army's Strategic<br>\nCommand. KONI's Vice President Soesilo Soedarman had earlier<br>\nturned down the offer to take Surono's mantle, saying that he was<br>\ntoo busy with his position as Coordinating Minister for Political<br>\nAffairs and Security.<\/p>\n<p>Soeweno, who has been much involved with sports development<br>\nsince 1986, said the government now should line up a more<br>\ndefinite system as well as a guideline. \"It will help KONI to re-<br>\nestablish a bottom-up development in the national sports,\" said<br>\nSoeweno.
