Muhammadiyah to deploy monitors

Muhammadiyah to deploy monitors

JAKARTA: The Muhammadiyah Youth organization says it will
dispatch approximately 60,000 polling station monitors nationwide
in the upcoming July 5 presidential election.

By dispatching so many monitors, it likely meant that the
group was serious in its support of Amien Rais, according to
Abdul Mukti, the chairman of the youth group, which is affiliated
to Muhammadiyah, the second largest Muslim organization in the
country.

Amien Rais is a former chairman of Muhammadiyah.

Abdul said that the deployment of the Muhammadiyah Youth
members was aimed at preventing fraud, which may not only hurt
Amien's chances, but also that of other candidates. -- Antara
