Vice Chairman of the Democratic Party of Indonesia ( PD-Partai Demokrat) Mr. Ahmad Mubarok said during the party’s National Convention held in Jakarta on Monday, February 9, 2009, that current Vice Presiden Jusuf Kalla may not be President SBY’s partner for the period of 2009-2014 as Vice President, because there are other potential Vice Presidents, such as Mr. Hidayat Nur Wahid, currently as the Chairman of the Indonesian Consultative Assembly.
This could happen if during the coming Legislative Election, GOLKAR Party cannot secure a majority seats at the new Indonesian Parliament as in 2004. He gave example that Golkar may only got 2.5% vote, while the Partai Keadilan Sejahtera (PKS - the party supporting Mr. Hidayat Nur Wahid) got a 20% vote, and the Partai Demokrat got 20% vote, then for sure President SBY will choose Mr. Hidayat Nur Wahid as his running mate for his Vice Presidential Candidate for June 9, 2009 Presidential Election.
Commenting on this remark, Vice President Jusuf Kalla said that Partai Demokrat should not underestimate Partai GOLKAR for its strength covering all of Indonesian regions. It has had a long root of loyal supporters througout Indonesia.
