Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The ruling Democrat Party is to hold an extraordinary congress (KLB) if the party's chief, Anas Urbaningrum, proves to be involved in the Wisma Atlet corruption case, a senior party official said.
"If he is found to be involved or otherwise, well, we will hold a KLB. But we have not thought of it yet as no clear sign has come yet from the current judicial process. So we cannot make any assumption about it now ," EE Mangindaan, a member of Democrat Party's advisory board, said after a meeting at the vice presidential office here on Friday.
He said his party sticks to implementing the principles of presumption of innocence in dealing with the issue and hopes the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) could act fast in the handling of the case.
"So, KPK had better act fast in its investigation so that the issue will soon become clear. If he is not found involved, then there is no problem," he said.
He said until now there had been no talks on replacing Anas Urbaningrum as the party's general chairman.
He said a high-level party meeting two days ago did not touch on the question. "At the meeting we only discussed internal improvements and preparations to consolidate for the 2014 general elections," he said.(IGT/T007)
