JAKARTA - Indonesian Home Affairs Minister M Ma`ruf left Jakarta for Aceh Province on Wednesday to inspect preparations made for the upcoming implementation of the Aceh direct regional chief elections scheduled for December 11, 2006. Minister Ma`ruf is expected to visit several districts in Indonesia`s northernmost province of Aceh, to monitor the preparations made by the regions.
Indonesian Military Chief Marshal Djoko Suyanto is also scheduled to visit Aceh on the same day. The Elections Independent Commission (KIP) of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) Province on Wednesday is to carry out a raffle to decide a sequence of candidates of Aceh governor and vice governor. There were eight couples of governor/vice governor candidates, NAD KIP Chairman M. Jafar said.
The candidates are
- Malek Raden/H Sayed Fuad Zakaria (nominated by the Golkar, PDIP, PKPI, and Democrat parties)
- H Iskandar Hoesin/ M Saleh Manaf (nominated by PBB, PDK, PM, PP Pancasila, PNI Marhaenisme, PPD, PBSD, PKPB parties)
- H Tamlicha Ali/ Harmen Nuriqman (PBR, PPNUI, PKB parties)
- H A Humam/ H Hasbi Abdullah (PPP)
- H M Djali Yusuf/H RA Syauqas Rahmatillah (individuals)
- H Azwar Abubakar/ M Nasir Djamil (PAN-PKS parties)
- Irwandi Yusuf /Muhammad Nazar (individuals)
- Ghazali Abbas/Shalahuddin Al Fata (individuals)
The Indonesian Foreign Affairs Ministry has received requests from a number of countries including Japan and international organizations such as the European Union (EU) to monitor the implementation of Aceh`s direct regional chief elections. Foreign Affairs Minister Hassan Wirayuda said earlier that the European Union, European countries and Japan were among the parties that had expressed interest in observing Aceh`s regional polls to elect a governor and vice governor, district heads and mayors.
The minister said he and Home Affairs Minister Moh. Ma`ruf had signed a joint decree to regulate the entry of foreign observers into Aceh and their activities during the elections. Wirajuda said the foreign observers` presence in Aceh would be helpful as it was through them that Indonesia would be able to prove its capability to conduct peaceful, fair and democratic elections in a previously conflict-torn region.
