JAKARTA - The Presidential Candidate from the Forward Indonesia Coalition (KIM) Prabowo Subianto launched to Cikeas, Bogor, West Java on Wednesday, October 25, this morning. Prabowo is said to want to meet the 6th President of the Republic of Indonesia who is also the Chair of the Democratic Party Tunggu Council Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY).

"People first go to Pak SBY," said Gelora General Chair Anies Matta in Kertanegara, South Jakarta, Wednesday, October 25.

UN General Chair Yusril Ihza Mahendra said Prabowo's visit to Cikeas was to honor SBY as a former commander.

"He said it was a tradition in the army even though he was no longer in office, but if he was going to take an important step, it had to be permissible, first he told the former commander and Mr. SBY was his former commander," said Yusril in Kertanegara, Wednesday, October 25.

"He did tell us that he was going to Cikeas for a while just to respect, please come back here again and we will both go to Senayan, from Senayan later we have a declaration there,"

After that, continued Yusril, the presidential and vice presidential candidates together with the chairman of the supporting political parties will go to the Indonesian KPU to carry out registration.

"Later, Suropati Park will run," he continued.
