Jakarta – An accountability report delivered by United Development Party (PPP) chairman Suryadharma at a party plenary session at Panghegar Hotel in Bandung on Monday was marred by walkouts and interruptions. Suryadharma is hoping to be reelected chairman at the party congress.

"There are so many military officers inside. How can this be? This is a political party meeting," Zainuddin Isman, member of the party's consultative assembly, said as quoted by tempointeraktif.com.

Zainuddin walked out of the room while the chairman was addressing the party members. The meeting was closed to journalists.

Zainuddin said the chaos broke out when party district executive board (DPC) representatives complained that Suryadharma had not allowed regular party members to comment on his report.

The meeting, presided over by the party's secretary-general Irgan Chairul Mahfiz, only allowed high level regional executive board (DPW) representatives to ask questions, he said.

The participants said the people assigned to safeguard the meeting were not party members, which they said violated the party's statute.
