JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – The Chairman of the United Development Party (PPP) of Surabaya congress Romahurmuziy claimed that the Central Jakarta District Court has confirmed the legality of his PPP after the court ruled to reject petition from another PPP led by Djan Faridz.
Romahurmuziy aka Romi told journalists that the ruling was issued on Tuesday (Feb. 17). Romi said his PPP is ready to face further legal battle should Djan Faridz’s PPP decide to file an appeal against the Central Jakarta District Court’s ruling.
Romi, however, asked Djan Faridz’s PPP to reconcile and join to his PPP.
The PPP was divided to the two warring factions of Romahurmuziy’s PPP and Djan Faridz’s PPP. Romi has been elected as new PPP Chairman through the party’s congress (muktamar) in Surabaya, East Java. Djan Faridz, meanwhile, was elected as new PPP Chairman in another party’s congress in Jakarta.
Romi’s PPP has earlier secured official recognition from the Ministry of Law & Human Rights. (haryantosuharman@yosefardi.com)
