Jakarta (Antara Bali) - An observer said Anas Urbaningrum's future as chief of the ruling Democrat Party could be determined at the party's national leadership meeting to be held here on Sunday.

"I think Anas Urbaningrum's future would become the top issue to be discussed at the meeting tomorrow," the observer, Hanta Yudha, said at a discussion on "Polemic: Democrat Tsunami" here on Saturday.

He said regional and district board members who would attend the meeting would be the key to Anas's future fate. If the decision of the party's supreme council would be strengthened, he said, party leaders must be able to influence and convince them.

President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as chairman of the party's supreme council recently decided to take over the running of the party to allow Anas Urbaningrum, as party's general chairman, to concentrate on dealing with his problems.

Anas has so far been beset by allegations that he has been involved in a corruption case. He has always denied it while the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has never named him suspect in any case. (*/T007)
