Jakarta - An Indonesian Muslim leader yesterday was declared a candidate for the presidency in a move that could upset the prospects of the popular front-runner, Ms Megawati Sukarnoputri.
Mr Abdurrahman Wahid's decision was quickly endorsed by his own party, the Nation Awakening Party (PKB), which had previously pledged to support Ms Megawati in the vote to be held by the nation's supreme legislative body on October 20th.
