BANDARLAMPUNG, Lampung: New elections for the posts of Lampung
governor and deputy, which were to be held last Saturday, have
been postponed indefinitely after a council faction fielding
candidates asked for more time.

The Nationhood faction canceled their nomination of governor
Oemarsono and vice-governor Ismet Roni on Saturday, saying it
"needed more time to decide on the candidacy."

Election rules say there have to be at least two pairs of
candidates for an election to be held. The new elections came
after former governor Alzier was ousted for his involvement in an
alleged graft case last year. -- JP
