Megawati ready to lead PDI-P again: Daughter The Jakarta Post | Sun, 12/06/2009 10:30 PM | National Chairwoman of the Indonesian Democratic Party Struggle (PDI-P) Megawati Soekarnoputri is ready to lead the party again if re-selected during a national congress next year, a PDI-P executive said. Puan Maharani said Mega would be ready to carry out the order from the party for the 2010-2015 period. "It is still premature for her to say whether she's ready or not [to lead the party]. But as a member of the party, she will do her duty as well as she can," Puan, Mega's daughter, said during the fifth regional meeting in Semarang on Sunday. She added 33 regional representatives supported Mega's bid for the party candidacy. During the meeting, head of the Central Java regional representative Murdoko said all 35 branches across the province had confirmed their support for Megawati. The national congress is scheduled to be held in April next year. Earlier in the day, Megawati's brother Guruh Soekarnoputra met with East Java leaders of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) in Ngawi, East Java, to gain their support for his chairmanship. Head of the Guruh campaign team for East Indonesia, Zainal Abidin, said Guruh had received support from various provinces such as Papua and several provinces in Sulawesi. "Many members still want families of former president Soekarno to lead PDI-P," he told kompas.com. (ewd) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
