'Dangdut' time in Palu

PALU, Central Sulawesi: Only about 500 people showed up at the campaign rallies of four parties on Wednesday, but youngsters at least got a chance to enjoy dangdut dancing.

Business went on as usual in several parts of the town and the only signs of campaigning were the occasional passing, open cars transporting party supporters to and from rallies.

The township's election committee ruled against street rallies, to which parties mostly complied. (38)
