F
ormer Army chief of staff Gen (ret) Pramono Edhie Wibowo has finally announced his decision to join the Democratic Party. Pramono, who attended the party's annual National Coordinating Meeting (Rakornas),
said he was now a member of the party's supervisory board.
'I became a party member four days ago,' he said as quoted by kompas.com on Saturday.
Pramono, who retired less than a month ago, had earlier said that he had no interest to join a political party and therefore would spend more time with his family during his retirement.
'Well, the truth is I want to help this party. Pak SBY had earlier asked for my favor,' Pramono, who is also Yudhoyono's brother in law, said.
He added that the whole family stood behind him on his decision to become a politician.(hrl/dic)
