MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: Three members of the United
Development Party (PPP) faction were sworn into the South
Sulawesi Provincial Council on Monday, Antara reported.

Masyur Palewangi, Natsir Dg Mappaseng and Abubakar Wasahua,
who were installed by Speaker Amin Syam during a plenary meeting,
brought the size of the council to 74 members.

Antara did not say why the three took up their posts on Monday
when the rest were inducted in October. Another elected member
from the Indonesian United Islam Party (PSII) has yet to be
installed.

South Sulawesi is a stronghold of the Golkar Party which won
44 council seats in the June election. Its nearest rivals are the
Indonesian Military/National Police faction with eight
representatives and the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle
(PDI Perjuangan) with five members. (01)
