The political parties behind the victory of president-elect Prabowo Subianto plan to join hands once again for the upcoming regional head elections in key regions in Java, which look increasingly like showdowns between candidates aligned with both the incoming and outgoing governments and those considered outsiders.
Former East Java governor Khofifah Indar Parawansa and her former deputy Emil Dardak look set to secure a ticket for another run in the upcoming gubernatorial election in the province following endorsement from four political parties behind the victory of president-elect Prabowo Subianto.
President-elect Prabowo Subianto’s plan to form a so-called club of presidents has generally received a warm welcome from political parties across the spectrum, but a series of unresolved conflicts between his predecessors may become a stumbling block.
Prabowo has made good on the Idul Fitri tradition of silaturahmi (strengthening kinship) by turning up at the holiday gatherings of existing as well as potential political allies, amid hints at a possible meeting between him and PDI-P matriarch Megawati.
Speaking during an iftar dinner at the Democratic Party headquarters in Jakarta, Prabowo said that it was likely that he would put Yudhoyono's paintings on display at the planned presidential palace in Nusantara, the country's new capital in East Kalimantan.

Democratic Party chair Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono finally ended his nearly 10-year journey in the political wilderness on Wednesday when he became the new agrarian and spatial planning minister in President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo’s outgoing administration.
