JAMBI, Jambi: Governor Zulkifli Nurdin may have ended his
five-year term on Friday, but he is still in office waiting for
central government to appoint a caretaker to replace him.

It is not clear when the Ministry of Home Affairs would name
an acting governor for the province.

The caretaker is set to serve until June, when Jambi gets a
new governor through a first-ever direct election.

Zulkifli, running for the National Mandate Party, plans to
contest the election. --JP
