SEMARANG: Semarang City Council has reelected a retired Army
colonel as its mayor whose name, coincidentally, carries both the
name of the country's president and vice president.

Col. Soetrisno Suharto, 54 years old, won the most votes at a
council election on Monday night to earn the right to govern the
city for the 1995-2000 period, according to Antara.

His reelection however is still subject to approval by the
Minister of Home Affairs. If all goes well, he will be
reappointed on Jan. 19.

At the election, his nearest competitor Muchatib Adisubrata
collected only three votes and the other candidate Kartono had
two. (emb)
