CILACAP, Central Java: Local chief of the United Development
Party (PPP) resigned yesterday because of a disappointing
election outcome.

Ahmad Mujibudin, a candidate for the local legislative body
for the 1998-2003 period, said he would focus on his Islamic
boarding school after a month had passed, due to his election
campaign activities.

The PPP won seven out of 10 targeted seats at the provincial
legislative body. Mujibudin topped the PPP's list of candidates.

Secretary of the regional election committee, Mohammad Sodik,
said Mujibudin was the only one of 40 legislative candidates to
officially resign. (wah)
