Kalla in Palu: Golkar Party chairman Jusuf Kalla addresses thousands of party supporters during a Golkar rally at Watulemo square in Palu, Central Sulawesi, on Thursday.

During the rally, Kalla invited one of the thousands of Golkar supporters up to the stage - and Sutarso went up.

"What do you do?" Kalla asked Sutarso.

"I am a traveling meatball seller," Sutarso replied, adding that he was from Java.

Sutarso told Kalla that he and his family had always voted for Golkar in past elections because of the party's long experience in government.

Kalla then told the audience, "All of you, buy Sutarso's meatballs! If you want to buy meatballs, just look for him -- Sutarso's meatballs!"

"Buy Sutarso's meatballs because he votes for the Golkar Party!" (rid)
