PPP members seek to oust Hamzah

JAKARTA: Discontent with the current party's leadership, some
members of the United Development Party (PPP) are seeking to hold
a special national meeting to replace incumbent chairman Hamzah
Haz, who is also the incumbent vice president.

"We are lobbying several chapters across the country for the
special meeting as the current chairmanship fails to do good for
the party," Chairulhadi M. Anik, who is also the leader of the
party's youth-wing of Ka'abah Youth Movement (GPK), said on
Sunday.

He said although Hamzah was vice president for the past three
years, had failed to improve the party, thus needing a leadership
change within the party.

He claimed that the special national meeting was slated to be
held after the presidential election runoff. --Antara
