JAKARTA (Yosefardi) – PAN Chairman Hatta Rajasa is hoping Prabowo Subianto will attend the inauguration of President-elect Joko “Jokowi” Widodo as the seventh President of the Republic in the plenary session of the People’s Consultative Assembly (MPR) on October 20.
Hatta, who ran in the 2014 presidential race as Prabowo’s running mate, expresses his hope as he so far is not told or informed by Prabowo about Prabowo’s presence on Jokowi’s inauguration as new president.
The former Coordinating Minister for Economy and father-in-law of President SBY’s youngest son said he will attend the inauguration.
Prabowo and Hatta lose to Jokowi and his running mate Jusuf Kalla in the 2014 presidential race. Since then both parties have involved in a conflicting relationship.
Prabowo and Jokowi even have not yet met each other after the Constitutional Court confirmed Jokowi’s victory in the presidential race. (haryantos@yosefardi.biz)
