Kiemas, chairman of the board of patrons of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), is currently convalescing at the Dr Sukaman Pavilion of the Harapan Kita Heart Hospital in West Jakarta following the surgery.
“The surgery took between 40 minutes to one hour. His condition is stable,” Trimedya Panjaitan, a member of the PDI-P faction in the House of Representatives, said after visiting Kiemas as reported by kompas.com.
