SURABAYA: East Java Governor Imam Utomo has virtually killed
any chances for Surabaya Mayor Sunarto Sumoprawiro to be
reelected for a second term in office after his current one ends
in July.
"As Indonesia's second largest city, Surabaya needs a more
creative, more capable and more intelligent leader. He must also
have a proven good governance record," Imam said, reported Antara
on Thursday.
Several candidates have been mentioned as candidates to
succeed Sunarto, the news agency said, citing among them Muchayat
of the East Java trade and commerce office, Col. Bambang Setiawan
of the East Java Military Command and Col. Pranghadi of the Armed
Forces Headquarters in Jakarta. (01)
