Man arrested for presidential poll

BANDUNG, West Java: A man in Cilbaligo, Cimahi, was arrested by police Tuesday on suspicion of distributing unlawful ballot sheets proposing a new president and vice president.

Zai, 20, was taken into custody at his home, where police also confiscated dozens of the documents listing names of prospective candidates.

Priangan police chief, Col. Soekamto, told the media here Wednesday the ballots were printed under the logo of an unrecognized organization called the Foundation of Islam in the 21st Century.

Antara reported the police are continuing their investigation, which includes a lead that Zai's brother had accepted some of the sheets.

There was no report specifying which law Zai would be charged under. (mds)
