Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Democratic Party (PD) should better stay independent rather than joining Prabowo-Hattas permanent coalition or the coalition of Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla under the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP).
"I think the political party which I lead had better become independent and a stabilizing force, instead of joining one of the coalitions, be it of Parabowo or of Joko Widodo. Thats the decision of the party that I lead," PD General Chairman Susilo Bambang Yudhoyhono said on a YouTube video uploaded on his Twitter account on Thursday.
It was earlier reported that the Democratic Party has expressed its support to the Prabowo-Hatta presidential and vice presidential candidate duo.
The PD officially declared its support for the Prabowo-Hatta ticket through its executive chairman Syarief Hasan at a press conference at the PD office on June 30, 2014. (WDY)
