Comments: Rival camp may forge opposition

A

strong>Aug. 26, p1

President-elect Joko '€œJokowi'€ Widodo'€™s camp continued on Monday to solicit support from members of Prabowo Subianto'€™s Red-and-White Coalition ahead of [Jokowi'€™s] inauguration in October.

Your comments:

Presumably under Jokowi it is to be hoped that the days of fat brown envelopes are over, so might it be ministerial posts (which we are repeatedly told it'€™s not going to be), or will it be ambassadorial posts,
or what?

Apart from avoiding the shame, embarrassment and loss of face involved in being on the losing side, what is in it for these individuals, and whole parties too, to leave the Red-and-White Coalition'€™s sinking ship and scamper across to Jokowi?
