The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has summoned National Awakening Party (PKB) chairman Muhaimin Iskandar, who was recently declared the vice presidential candidate of the Coalition for Change and Unity (KPP), for questioning in relation to a 2012 graft case at the Manpower Ministry.

Muhaimin, who led the ministry at the time of the case, was initially supposed to answer the summons on Tuesday, just four days after officially declaring his VP bid with Anies Baswedan, the KPP’s presidential candidate, in Surabaya.

However, he requested that the questioning be postponed, saying he had to attend the international Quran Recitation Competition (MTQ) in Banjarmasin, South Kalimantan.

The commission rescheduled the questioning for next week.
