TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - NasDem Party Chairman Surya Paloh said supporting parties of Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa are welcomed to join Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo - Jusuf 'JK' Kalla camp as problems in Indonesia can be solved by working together.
"No rejection from us," said Paloh in a press conference with Jokowi-JK’s supporting parties yesterday.
Jokowi and JK were declared victors of this year’s presidential election last night based on vote recapitulation by the General Elections Commission (KPU). Jokowi-JK won with eight-million-vote higher than Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa.
The Golkar Party and the United Development Party (PPP), two supporting parties of Prabowo-Hatta, have stated their intention to join Jokowi-JK. Some cadres of those two parties consider the permanent coalition formed by Prabowo-Hatta as invalid.
Surya Paloh called for all political parties to work together and build a much effective and better government than the previous one so that the nation and institutions of political parties can stand strongly and unite as one. "We want to strengthen spirit of solidarity," he said.
