Kalla's presence a violation for Golkar

JAYAPURA, Papua: The Golkar Party has been rebuked for
inviting Coordinating Minister for People's Welfare Jusuf Kalla
to campaign in Jayapura, Papua province.

The Papua General Elections Commission (KPUD) argued on Monday
that the presence of Kalla violated campaign regulations because
Golkar had not listed him as one of its national campaigners in
the province.

The reprimand was supported by the province's Election
Supervisory Committee (Panwaslu).

"The presence of Jusuf Kalla in Jayapura during the campaign
violates campaign regulations because he is not one of
campaigners reported by Golkar Party in Papua," KPUD member
Yohanis G. Bonay said on Monday.

He said that only Golkar chairman Akbar Tanjung and
presidential hopeful Surya Paloh were registered to the KPUD as
the party's national campaigners in Papua. --JP
