The Democratic Party is aiming to get 30 percent of the national vote in the 2014 general elections, according to a top official.

"The national target is 30 percent. I am sure that we can get more than 30 percent of the vote in South Sumatra,” party chairman Anas Urbaningrum said in Palembang, South Sumatra, on Saturday evening at an executive meeting of the party's South Sumatra branch.

Reaching the goal would be aided by the party's speedy consolidation and recruitment of highly qualified and motivated members with strong grass roots connections, Anas added.

"The people have felt the benefit of the party’s pro-people programs, which show that the party is not only known, but is also loved by the people," Anas said. (nvn)
