Wahid's Younger Brother Urges Him to Hand Power to Megawati
Salahuddin Wahid, the younger brother of President Abdurrahman Wahid, said in a newspaper report published Monday that the president should hand over power to Vice President Megawati Sukarnoputri, saying that could be the best way to deal with worsening political tensions in Indonesia.
