JAKARTA: A United Development Party (PPP) faction said a
planned gathering here of party members at the end of the month
would not lead to calls for an extraordinary congress to elect a
new party leader.

The event's organizing committee chairman, Irgan Chairul
Hafidz, said the gathering would serve as a forum for sharing
ideas on how to help the party improve on its showing in the
2004 legislative election.

Irgan said PPP leader Hamzah Haz had expressed interest in
attending the event, but other party executives were trying to
prevent him from attending.

A party executive, Mahmud F. Rakasima, said earlier the
gathering was a breach of party rules as such an event was not
recognized in the party's statutes. -- Antara
