Governor asked to swear in regent-elect

KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: The Southeast Sulawesi provincial legislative council called on governor La Ode Kaimoeddin to swear in Masjhur Masie Abunawas as Kendari mayor and his deputy Muzakir Mustafa as many local people have demanded.

Hio Biohanis, chairman of the provincial legislature, said the legislature could not intervene in the executive body's internal matters but, in their recent plenary session, the provincial legislative council called on the governor to inaugurate the two to avoid conflict among local people.

"The governor should install Masyur as new mayor and Muzakir as his deputy to avoid possible clashes between their supporters and those supporting candidates defeated in the recent election," he said. --Antara
