Janis obtained an<br>\napplication form to run as a city gubernatorial candidate at the<br>\nCity Council on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>\"Roy, via one of his men, has obtained an application form for<br>\nhimself as a city governor candidate,\" Wawan, the council's<br>\nemployee said.<\/p>\n<p>Roy, who was former chairman of the party's city chapter, was<br>\namong 11 names that were nominated by the party's branches in its<br>\nearlier meeting.<\/p>\n<p>Tarmidi Suhardjo, the current chairman of the party's city<br>\nchapter and deputy chairman of the City Council, picked up an<br>\napplication form on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The party's city chapter decided to propose Tarmidi as the<br>\nsole candidate for city governor. The party has the largest<br>\nmembership in the council with 30 seats.<\/p>\n<p>The party's chapter seemingly defied party chairwoman Megawati<br>\nSoekarnoputri's support for incumbent City Governor Sutiyoso to<br>\nbe reelected in the gubernatorial election on Sept. 17.<\/p>\n<p>Roy was reportedly the person who proposed Sutiyoso to<br>\nMegawati's husband, Taufik Kiemas. The latter then proposed to<br>\nMegawati.<\/p>\n<p>Megawati allegedly believes Jakarta should be led by Sutiyoso,<br>\na retired army lieutenant general and former Jakarta Military<br>\nCommander, for security reasons.<\/p>\n<p>It is still unclear whether Roy, who is also the party's<br>\nfaction chairman at the House of Representatives, will really run<br>\nfor the election.<\/p>\n<p>The party's votes were believed to be divided for several<br>\ncandidates, including Sutiyoso, Tarmidi and Roy.<\/p>\n<p>The party's councillors have also taken forms, including Audi<br>\nIZ. Tambunan and Dadang Hamdani.<\/p>\n<p>More than 100 forms have been taken since registration began<br>\nlast week. However, most of the forms collected so far have been<br>\npicked up by unknown candidates. -- JP<\/p>",
