PDI Perjuangan reshuffle its leaders

JAKARTA: Roy Janis' days as House's faction chairman are
numbered. He will be replaced by Tjahjo Kumolo, the incumbent
secretary of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI
Perjuangan) faction, sources at the party said.

Asked by the press on Wednesday, Tjahjo acknowledged that he
had also heard about the imminent replacement but he said: "It is
still under discussion, not a decision yet."

Tjahjo will be replaced by Panda Nababan, the faction's deputy
chairman. Both Tjahjo and Panda are close aides of Taufik Kiemas,
the husband of party chairwoman Megawati Soekarnoputri.

The sources said that chairman of the PDI Perjuangan faction
in the People's Consultative Assembly Arifin Panigoro would also
be replaced. - JP
