YOGYAKARTA: Leader of the United Democratic Nationhood Party
(PPDK) Andi Mallarangeng said here on Friday that his party had a
specific goal for the upcoming elections. It is eyeing 25 seats
in the House of Representatives (DPR), 100 seats in the regional
representatives council and 1,000 seats in regental and municipal
legislatures across the nation. "We are a new party, and we do
not expect much," he said after Friday prayers here in a mosque
in Suryowijayan area.

He added that the party had yet to name its presidential and
vice presidential hopefuls, saying that it was waiting for the
right moment.

A total of 24 political parties will contest the legislative
election this year, with 500 seats in the DPR and thousands of
seats at regental and municipal levels up for grabs. -- JP
