emocratic Party executivechairman Syarief Hasan flat-out denied that party chairman President SusiloBambang Yudhoyono had used state facilities to support the party's campaign, whichwould be a violation of election regulations.
Therefore, he said, Yudhoyono did not need to attend the General Elections Supervisory Body (Bawaslu) in order to clarify the allegation.
'There was no violation and it has been clarified. Thus, there is no need to answer Bawaslu's invitation,' Syarief said as quoted by kompas.com.
Previously the Independent Election Monitoring Committee (KIPP) had reported Yudhoyono to Bawaslu for allegedly using state money to finance the Democratic Party's recent political campaign in Lampung.
'Using state money is a serious violation according to the General Election Law,' KIPP's deputy secretary-general, Girindra Sandino, said in a statement.
KIPP encouraged Bawaslu to take over the issue and summon Yudhoyono for clarification.(idb/dic)
