Alliance Party registers for the poll

JAKARTA: The Indonesia Nationalist Alliance Party registered on Friday with the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights for an administration screening ahead of the 2004 elections.

Party chairman Hadidjojo Nitimihardjo said his party was ready to contest the upcoming elections.

"We expect to win 3 percent of the vote," he said.

Only parties that earn 2 percent of the vote or more in the 2004 elections will be eligible to contest the 2009 elections.

The alliance party was created from 11 parties that took part in the 1999 elections. -- Antara
