Crescent Star wins the day

BENGKULU: Scheduled campaigns of four parties here failed to take place because party attributes were not ready.

Asep Firmansyah Putra from the New Indonesia Party (PIB) said his party could not meet the campaign schedule because some props from Jakarta had failed to arrive. Executives of other parties gave similar reasons, which proved fortunate for the Crescent Star Party as it was the only one who managed to stage a campaign later in the day, Antara reported.
