HOUSE SPEAKER READY TO ACCEPT WHATEVER POLL RESULTS
Jakarta, April 9 (ANTARA)- House of Representatives (DPR-RI)speaker Agung Laksono who is also Golkar party's vice chairman said he was ready to accept whatever results of the April 9 legislative elections.
"I am ready to accept whatever the (poll) results," he told the press at his residence in Cipinang Cempedak area in East Jakarta before coming to the polling station (TPS) no.18 on the vote casting day.
Laksono said during the recent outdoor campaign his party had maximally explained its programs to the people including to the youth and teachers.
"The campaign has been maximally carried out, so I just follow whatever the results will be," said Laksono, who is the party's top legislative candidate for the Jakarta-I area covering East Jakarta.
As a representative of Jakarta, Laksono should tightly compete with other parties' candidates like Hayono Isman of the Democrats Party (PD), Mandra of the National Mandate Party (PAN), Aries Mudatsir Mandan of Muslim-based United Development Party (PPP), and Fitria Elvi Sukeisih of Patriot party.
Laksono, however, expressed optimism to retain his position as the party's legislator for the next five years.
On Thursday (April 9) around 171 million eligible voters were expected to cast their votes for the 38 political parties vying for the 560 seats in the House of Representatives (DPR) and six local parties in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) province trying to get 69 seats at the provincial legislative councils (DPRA) and 645 seats at 23 districts/municipals legislative councils.
