BANDA ACEH, Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam: The Prosperous Justice
Party (PKS) held a campaign on Monday highlighted by the
distribution of a list of allegedly corrupt legislative
candidates from other parties.

The names of the candidates were distributed by PKS members,
along with flowers and stickers, to commuters on Lingke's main
thoroughfares in Banda Aceh.

"We do not mean to discredit members of other political
parties. We are merely informing people so that they can choose
the right people and not vote for corruptors," PKS member
Mukminan said on Monday.

The list includes the names of 26 Banda Aceh mayoralty
councillors who are undergoing legal prosecution for the alleged
embezzlement of Rp 5.7 billion (US$655,172) of the city budget.
