MEGA-PRO HOLD ROUSING CAMPAIGN RALLY IN JAKARTA
Jakarta, June 30 (ANTARA) - Presidential candidate Megawati Soekarnoputri and her running mate Prabowo Subianto (Mega-Pro) held a rousing campaign rally at the Bung Karno Sports Stadium here on Tuesday.
Apart from performances of the 'Raja' music group, singers Emilia Contessa and Denada, the Mega-Pro sympathizers who packed the sports stadium were also entertained with other attractions and a procession of large toy bulls, banners as well as flags of PDIP and the Greater Indonesian Movement (Gerindra) Party.
Flags of the National Mandate Party (PAN) were also seen.
Large posters which read "Mega-Prabowo Untuk Indonesia (Mega-Prabowo for Indonesia)" also adorned various sides of the Bung Karno sports stadium.
Megawati, who is a former president, is the leader of PDIP while Prabowo Subianto, a former commandant of the Army's Strategic Reserves Command (KOSTRAD), is the chairman of the Gerindra party.
The rally was also attended by other daughters and son of Indonesia's founding president Soekarno, such as Sukmawati Soekarnoputri and Guruh Soekarnoputra, as well as other leaders of PDIP and Gerindra.
On the occasion, the Mega-Pro duo also launched a political contract commitment for the Indonesian people.
