Yenny Zannuba Wahid, daughter of the late former president Abdurrahman Wahid, is seeking reconciliation with Muhaimin Iskandar, the current chairman of the National Awakening Party (PKB), saying it would be for the betterment of the party and its followers.

Yenny acknowledged that the reconciliation was actually the idea of her father, widely known as Gus Dur, one of the founders of the party.

“Let us honor the last will of Gus Dur, who had great plans when he established the party,” she said.

Yenny said the moment had come for conflicting factions in the party to come together and settle their differences.

“I will ask Muhaimin to participate at the upcoming national conference in Surabaya. In fact, if he is planning to name a candidate for the chairmanship once again at the conference, it’s all right with me,” she said as quoted by kompas.com on Tuesday.
