		An innovator is intent upon reforms that are compliant with the demands of the society, and also has the social skills and leadership necessary to unite different warring political groups in order to support her reforms.
		Indonesia is currently plagued by an economic malaise, which is affecting the ability of political parties to finance their activities.
		If Bung Karno, the first president and Megawati’s father, succeeded in establishing the national foundation of Indonesia, Megawati will, hopefully, be remembered as the figure who successfully solidified the foundation of democracy in Indonesia.

		To win the presidency, a candidate must receive a majority of the national vote and more than 20 percent of the vote in at least half of Indonesia's 30 provinces - in effect ruling out all but the two major parties.
		Former (impeached) president Abdurrahman Wahid remains the leader of the National Awakening Party and retains the support of the 40-million-member Nahdlatul Ulama (NU), the country's largest Muslim socio-political organization.
		His selection as vice president would be a signal that Megawati intends to continue deferring to the military establishment.

		If the Vice President isn't moved by the prospect of the country's collapse, you might think the humiliation heaped on her by Wahid would itself be enough to spur her into action.
		On one memorable occasion, as one of her advisers recounts it, the President summoned Megawati to his office to inform her that she would be announcing a cabinet reshuffle, bridled when she asked the identity of one of the names, sent her away and had an aide announce the changes instead.
		In the parliamentary election for President that followed, the top job was snatched from her by last-minute horse trading and political maneuvering that included behind-the-scenes allegations by Wahid that she had accepted a large bribe.

		Although she is still far from accessible, the media-shy president has made full use of her office to appear more frequently than usual on national television and newspaper front pages.
		Yudhoyono has failed to counter negative propaganda ranging from accusations that he panders to extremists because of his political affiliation with two of Indonesia's most hard-line Muslim parties, to the contention that because his wife's name, Kristiani, seems to suggest it, she is a Christian - she isn't.

		As the daughter of former President Sukarno, she was revered by many in Indonesia as the answer to all their problems.
		But she has failed to make any lasting progress in the fight against corruption, and has remained largely silent on her efforts to combat terrorism and regional militancy, a stance she was criticised for in the aftermath of the Bali bomb attacks in 2002.
		President Sukarno led Indonesia to independence after World War II She has also been accused of lacking her father's charisma, and often appears remote and even aloof, delegating many of her scheduled public duties to senior ministers.

		Megawati Sukarnoputri - or "Mega" has taken the vice presidency of Indonesia after years of living in the shadow of her father, the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno.
		She sparked yet more controversy when she called for the former president, reviled by other opposition leaders and the popular press, to be treated leniently despite the fact that pressure for a corruption trial was growing.
		In the end it appears her populist appeal, as someone who stood for the poor and disenfranchised as well as nationalist interests, was not enough in the face of the politically astute Abdurrahman Wahid.

		He has said he would ask Suharto to admit publicly that he and his family hoarded a fortune during his 33 years in office, to apologize for abusing the public trust, and to return the funds to the government.
