TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Democratic Party Chairman Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) met with Prabowo Subianto and Aburizal "Ical" Bakrie on Thursday, December 11, 2014, to discuss the Government Regulation in Lieu of Law No. 1/2014 on Regional Elections, or locally known as Perppu Pilkada, as stated by the party's executive chairman Sjarifuddin Hasan.
According to Sjarif, Prabowo and Ical have agreed to support the Perppu.
"It has been agreed [to support the Perppu], so it does not need to be specifically discussed," Sjarif said on Thursday, December 11, 2014, at the Democratic Party's headquarter.
Sjarif believed that the deal made by the Great Indonesian Movement Party and the Functional Group Party leaders is proof that Prabowo's coalition at the House of Representatives remains solid.
Therefore, Sjarif predicted that all House members would approve the Perppu at a meeting following a recess period that will end in mid-January 2015.
