Jakarta-based members of President Megawati Sukarnoputri's Indonesian Democratic Struggle Party (PDI-P) protested outside the City Council building after party officials announced June 25 that the president will support Jakarta's incumbent governor, Sutiyoso, for re-election. Local PDI-P chapters rejected Sutiyoso's bid, as they believe the former military commander was responsible for a July 1996 police raid on their headquarters that triggered widespread riots in the capital. Disgruntled PDI-P members were not the only ones protesting. About 150 members of the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI) also demonstrated outside the City Council building before heading to a nearby tourist district to smash signs advertising alcohol, Indonesian media reported. The FPI has long criticized Sutiyoso for being "morally tarnished" and for failing to enforce regulations prohibiting nightclubs and bars from operating during the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
