SBY-BOEDIONO PAIR TO REDUCE SPIRIT OF PARTY CADRES IN COALITION
Jakarta, May 112 (ANTARA) - A decision by President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) to choose Boediono as his running mate for the upcoming presidential race will dampen the spirit of party cadres in the president's coalition supporting his re-election bid, a pro-SBY politician said.
"The emergence of Boediono is feared to dampen the spirit of political party cadres (in SBY's Democratic Party coalition)," secretary general of the National Mandate Party (PAN) Zulkifli Hasan, said here on Tuesday.
He was referring to reports that Yudhoyono might pick Boediono, governor of Bank Indonesia, as his running mate for the upcoming July 8 2009 presidential elections.
Zulkifli, who is also chairman of the PAN faction in the House of Representatives (DPR) said PAN cadre Hatta Rajasa, who is also minister/state secretary had told him that Yudhoyono had decided to pick Boediono as his running mate.
Recently, PAN at its recent national working meeting in Yogyakarta recommended that Rajasa be proposed as a vice presidential candidate to pair with Yudhoyono.
Therefore, Zulkifli said, his side was surprised to hear that Boediono would be chosen as Yudhoyono's running mate.
He said that the change in the map of would-be vice presidential candidate for Yudhoyono from Hatta Rajasa to Boediono had reduced PAN cadres's enthusiasm to fight for SBY's victory in the coming presidential elections.
Zulkifli said PAN would hold a meeting soon to formulate its attitude towards Yudhoyono's plan (to pick Boediono).
"We will meet again to determine PAN's stance after the signal that Rajasa is not to become SBY's vice presidential candidacy," he added.
So far, PAN has been one of the parties that have aligned themselves with Yudhoyono's Democratic Party. The other parties are the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the National Awakening Party (PKB) and the United Development Party (PPP).***
