JAKARTA: The Indonesian Muslim Intellectuals Association (ICMI) says that President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono has asked the group to help ensure that the elections in 2014 are conducted fairly and without violence.
“The President has asked us to spread the idea of having quality elections, without violence and money politics, among our members,” ICMI chairman Nahat Fatah Natsi told reporters after meeting with Yudhoyono at the Presidential Office on Wednesday.
Nahat was accompanied by Irman Gusman, deputy head of ICMI’s advisory board; expert board chief Hatta Rajasa, who is also Yudhoyono’s coordinating economic minister; presidium member Sugiharto; secretary-general Muhammad Taufiq; and deputy secretary-general Endin Nasruddin.
During the 1.5-hour meeting, ICMI executives also invited Yudhoyono to attend the 2012 ICMI National Symposium and the establishment of the Indonesia Muslim Entrepreneur Union, both events scheduled to take place in May, Nahat said.
