Hawkers swarm election office

PALU, Central Sulawesi: The Provincial Elections Committee office has been overwhelmed by food and drink hawkers who have flocked there to obtain campaign schedules.

The stream of inquiries was triggered by disappointment over Thursday's cancellation of Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI Perjuangan) campaigns without notice.

Dozens of food and drink hawkers who came to the field were disappointed and swore they would never trust anybody but the election committee.

"We won't even trust the media," said Mas Dahlan, 32, a cold drink hawker. So he led his fellow hawkers to "raid" the committee office, Antara reported.
