Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) presidential candidate Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo has secured a much-needed coalition, clearing the way for him to contest the July 9 presidential election, after the NasDem Party announced on Saturday its support for the Jakarta governor's bid.
Most quick counts conducted after last Wednesday's legislative election said that the PDI-P garnered around 19 percent of the vote, forcing the party to seek coalition partners to pave the way for Jokowi's presidential run.
Your comments:
According to media reports, NasDem chairman Surya Paloh will not accept a vice presidential bid, instead he proposed Jusuf Kalla for that seat. This will be the best coalition.
NasDem has a good mining sector policy that I believe will provide advantages to the country and its people.
The PDI-P should not be suspicious of NasDem. Jokowi has to accept the fact that his party cannot stand alone.

I don't think Paloh is sincere about giving full support to Jokowi because Jokowi refused to discuss Cabinet positions.
