The National Awakening Party (PKB) is targeting 100 seats in the 2014 legislative election and is counting on religious leaders (kiai) to help them reach their target.

"We will form an assembly of kiai from the villages to expand the party's network," PKB's Helmy Faisal Zani said Sunday in Jakarta, as quoted by Tempointeraktif.com. He said that the party is currently recruiting kiai in the villages.

The Party is preparing for its national meeting to be held next Tuesday and Wednesday. As many as 1,202 delegates, including a number of kiai, are expected to attend the event.

The meeting's organizing committee chairman Hanif Dakhiri said that the target was viewed as challenging, but achievable, for providing the party's political machine to function as it should. PKB secured 28 seats in the previous national legislative election in 2009.
