Politician ousted over polygamy

JAKARTA: The Islamic Reform Star Party officially dismissed House of Representatives Deputy Speaker Zaenal Ma'arif for polygamy Monday evening.

Bursah Zarnubi, the party leader, said that the party had also sent a letter to House Speaker Agung Laksono, suggesting that Zaenal be dismissed from his post as a deputy speaker.

Zaenal was reportedly fighting with the party before the controversy over his decision to take a second wife arose in December.

He had previously said that if he were dismissed, he would start a new party.

"Having said that, he chose to add fuel to the fire," said Bursah.

Agung said the House would hold a leadership meeting Tuesday to determine Zaenal's fate.

Meanwhile, Ade Daud, a member of the Reform Star Party said that the party would not interfere in the vacant board position left by Zaenal. --JP/06
