Marzuki Not to Nominate Himself as Party Chief

Nusa Dua (Antara Bali) - Deputy Chief of Democratic Party (PD)'s Supreme Council Marzuki Alie said he would not nominate himself as a general chairman for the party in its extraordinary congress in Sanur, Bali, on March 30-31, 2013.

"I have never stated or made preparations to go ahead or resign from Democratic (Party)," he said here on Tuesday.

According to Marzuki, he only had said that if cadres were willing to appoint PD Chief Patron Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono as its general chairman, they should be supported.

"Chairman of the Democratic Party's Regional Executive Boards (DPD) were asked to put forward their aspirations. All DPD chairmen expressed their aspirations. But all aspirations have not yet been formulated," Secretary of the Democratic Party (PD)'s Supreme Council Jero Wacik said after the meeting. (IGT)
