Around 3,000 supporters from 24 parties are expected to attend a national meeting to support presidential hopeful Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his running mate Boediono, on Saturday at Jakarta Expo Center building in Jakarta.
Several party executives have already surveyed the venue, kompas.com reports.
The pair are expected to present their visions and missions at the event. They will also discuss issues relating to the election and strategies to gain voters.
SBY-Boediono's campaign chief, Yahya Sacawiria, said the organizers had spent around Rp 1. 5 billion (US$ 150,000) to finance the event.
“Each party has allocated an amount of money to finance all of their needs at the meeting,” Yahya said. (ewd)
