No show at PNI, PDI rallies

MAUMERE, East Nusa Tenggara: The Indonesian Nationalist Party
(PNI) and Indonesian Democratic Party (PDI) under Budi Hardjono
canceled their final round of campaigning here Wednesday because
no one showed up.

The disappointed four-member PNI organizing committee
dismantled the stage and lowered the flags.

Chief of the local PNI local chapter Tadeus Tera then led the
other three activists into spending the rest of the day parading
around town on a van.

Meanwhile, PDI activists played a tape of party chief Budi
Hardjono in a field near the beach. They put loudspeakers on top
of a tree so that fishermen at sea could listen to it -- if they
cared to. (yac)
