Jakarta. The Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle national congress re-elected Megawati Soekarnoputri to be the party’s chairwoman on Thursday.
“We
declaring by acclamation that Megawati Soekarnoputri is PDI-P chairwoman for
2015-2020,” PDI-P senior politician, Frans Lebu Raya, told the congress in
Sanur, Bali.
The
announcement was welcomed with cheers and applause by hundreds of PDI-P members
attending the congress.
“One more
time, thank you for your trust,” Megawati told delegates. “If I am to be here
until 2020, please pray for my health so I can carry out my duty as a
chairwoman.”
Former
president Megawati founded the party in 1999 and has chaired it ever since.
PDI-P
cadres have repeatedly said that the Bali congress was only held to reaffirm
Megawati’s position as the chairwoman and was never intended to be a political
contest to elect a new leader.
