10 named for PAN chairmanship

YOGYAKARTA (JP): The Yogyakarta chapter of the National
Mandate Party (PAN) has proposed 10 people for the party's
chairmanship.

These 10 would meet and select PAN's next chairman from among
themselves when the party holds its congress here on Thursday.

The secretary of PAN's Yogyakarta chapter, Heroe Poerwadi,
said here on Monday the 10 included incumbent chairman Amien
Rais, secretary-general Faisal Basri and several executives and
senior members of the party, including Abdullah Toha, Christianto
Wibisono, Hatta Rajasa, AM Fatwa and Sindhunata.

"We don't want to have just one single candidate for the
party's top leader," Heroe said.

The congress is expected to be attended by about 850 PAN
delegates. Apart from the central executive board, each
provincial and regency chapter will be allowed to send two
delegates. (swa)
