Conflicting Parties In Parliament To Sign Agreement

Jakarta, Nov 17 (Antara) - The Red-White Coalition and the Great Indonesia Coalition will ink an agreement here on Monday to end weeks of internal conflict in the parliament, stated Deputy Chief of the House of Representatives (DPR) Agus Hermanto. "The signing ceremony will be conducted at the parliament building today," noted Hermanto. As reported earlier, the Indonesian parliament was divided during the past weeks due to dual leadership. The Red-White Coalition, which supported Prabowo Subianto and his running mate Hatta Rajasa in the presidential election on July 9, had won the leadership of the House Commissions following an election during which, the Great Indonesia Coalition that supported the Joko Widodo-Jusuf Kalla pair did not participate. However, the Great Indonesia Coalition fully dominates the executive power. The Great Indonesia Coalition comprising the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP), the National Democrat Party (Nasdem), the Nation Awakening Party (PKB) and the People`s Conscience Party (Hanura) then formed a rival DPR leadership with Pramono Anung being appointed as the chairman of the shadow parliament. The rift in the parliament has also been a cause of concern for the public and investors who are worried about its effects on the functioning of the Indonesian government.
