Party verification

The 2004 general elections may be delayed. This statement is not designed to provoke, but it is a fact that until now the verification of political parties has not been completed.

Some 50 parties have passed the verification process held by the Ministry of Justice and Human Rights. They then registered with the General Elections Commission (KPU) to see if they have met the requirements to contest the election.

However, some of them apparently have yet to meet the requirements. The issue must thus be settled soon so that the elections can be held on time. -- Media Indonesia, Jakarta
