INDONESIA: Vice president a possible presidential contender
Indonesia's Vice-President Hamzah Haz has won the backing of a powerful group from
his United Development Party for a possible presidential challenge in 2004. All 38
branches of the PPP's largest provincial chapter of East Java have agreed to push for
Haz's nomination as presidential candidate. The vice president shocked
Indonesia-watchers earlier this year, when he met with a Muslim cleric linked by
Singapore to regional terrorism.
