President Suharto, 65, who has ruled Indonesia for 20 years, accepted his party’s nomination to run for a fifth term, which could keep him in power until 1993. His nomination came at the end of a three-day conference held by the ruling Golkar party to prepare for parliamentary elections scheduled for April, 1987. The president will be chosen in March, 1988, by a special session of the upper house of Parliament, which is dominated by Golkar and presidential appointees. The two legal opposition parties are badly split.
