KPU delays announcement<\/p>\n
JAKARTA: The General Elections Commission (KPU) delayed on
\nWednesday its announcement on whether or not the last three
\npolitical parties had passed its administrative screening
\nprocess, saying it had not yet thoroughly reviewed the parties'
\ndocuments.<\/p>\n
KPU deputy chairman Ramlan Surbakti said the commission's
\nverification teams needed more time to ensure that they had used
\nthe correct data on the census and voters to verify the parties.<\/p>\n
\"We still need time to re-check the last three parties'
\ndocuments. We plan to announce it (the verification result) on
\nThursday,\" he told reporters.<\/p>\n
The three parties are: the Gotong Royong Party, the Indonesian
\nNationalist Unity Party and the Glorious Marhaen Nationalist
\nParty.<\/p>\n
This was not the first delay for the KPU. After releasing the
\nnames of the 15 parties that had passed the screening between
\nOct. 1 and Oct. 15, KPU planned to announce on Oct. 25 the names
\nof 29 parties that needed to resubmit their documents.<\/p>\n
A reliable source said seven parties had definitely failed to
\npass the screening process.<\/p>\n
On Tuesday, the KPU announced that four parties -- the
\nCatholic Party, the Islamic Party, the Pro-Republic Party and the
\nIndonesian Workers Party -- had failed the screening. -- JP<\/p>",
