P
resident Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla are scheduled to attend the national congress of the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P), which will be held in Sanur, Bali, on April 9-12, 2015.
'According to the information I got, Pak Jokowi and Pak Jusuf Kalla will attend the congress' opening ceremony,' kompas.com quoted Home Minister Tjahjo Kumolo as saying in Jakarta on Tuesday.
He said, however, that the party had no special agenda for the country's two top leaders and they would not present political speeches during the event.
The chairman of the congress' steering committee, Andreas Pareira, said that around 2,000 PDI-P senior members from all provinces, regencies, municipalities and subdistricts and all members of the party's executive board and the PDI-P-affiliated mass organization would attend.
He said many senior figures of other parties from Indonesia and overseas would be also invited to the congress' opening ceremony.
Tjahjo added that the party would likely unanimously reelect former president Megawati Soekarnoputri as party chairwoman as most provincial and regional functionaries supported her reelection. (rms)(++++)
