Surabaya, E Java (Antara) -- The Surabaya chapter of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) is set to send 2,000 cadres to attend the party congress scheduled to take place in the resort island of Bali on April 9. The Bali congress will elect the general chief and discuss the simultaneous regional head elections, Deputy Chairman of the Surabaya chapter of the PDIP Sukadar said here on Thursday. "We have prepared the cadres to get two significant proposals from the city executive board endorsed at the congress. The first proposal is to clear that we have, by acclamation, agreed to nominate (incumbent PDIP chief) Madame Megawati for another term," he noted. "Madame Megawati is the only candidate we will propose and her re-nomination is not negotiable," Sukadar remarked. (*) Reported by Abdul Hakim
