KENDARI, Southeast Sulawesi: A local organization has asked
President Megawati Soekarnoputri to not recognize the newly
elected governor and deputy governor because of election
violations.

"For the sake of law enforcement and the dignity of the
central administration in the region, we urge the President not
to swear in Ali Mazi and Yusran Silondae," said Hidayatullah,
chairman of the People's Mandate Assembly (MARA) here on Monday.

He said the election committee had violated Government
Regulation No. 151/2000, which requires gubernatorial candidates
have a clean track record. A candidate must also report their
wealth to the Public Servants' Wealth Audit Commission. -- Antara
