President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) makes the most of his final campaign day on Saturday gathering nearly a hundred thousands supporters at Bung Karno Stadium in Senayan, South Jakarta; causing severe traffic congestion to a radius of several kilometers.
Most of the 100,000 seats at the Gelora Bung Karno have been filled with supporters, dressed in various colors ranging from white, blue to orange; representing more than a dozen of political parties nominating Yudhoyono and his running mate former central bank governor Boediono as presidential and vice presidential candidates.
The flags of Yudhoyono's Democratic Party, the Prosperous Justice Party, the National Mandate Party, the National Awakening Party, and several other parties are evenly scattered and waved across the stadium.
The campaign is opened by performances of several local musicians, including pop bands Gigi, Ungu, and Cokelat, and dangdut singer Iis Dahlia.
Yudhoyono is scheduled to deliver his final campaign speech on 4 p.m.
