Guruh disappoints admirers
PALU, Central Sulawesi: Indonesian Democratic Party of
Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) campaigner Guruh Soekarnoputra
disappointed party supporters here by missing a campaign rally on
Wednesday.
Local secretary of the party branch here Imran Saiman told the
audience who packed the Abadi Talise soccer field that Guruh, one
of founding president Sukarno's sons, failed to show up because
he had to address party supporters somewhere on Java at the same
time.
Imran said he was afraid Guruh's appearance would attract a
huge crowd to the rally, and subsequently cause security
problems. A clash involving supporters of the party exploded at
the same place last week which Imran said had tarnished the
party's image.
In his speech, Imran told the crowd to maintain their cool in
the run-up to and during election day on Monday, Antara reported.
