The campaigns of the five<br>\npresidential candidates and their running mates will soon come to<br>\nan end, with each candidate seeking a simple 51 percent majority<br>\nor at least enough votes to get through to the runoff in<br>\nSeptember. The Jakarta Post asked some Jakarta people what they<br>\nthought of the presidential election.<\/p>\n<p>Awaluddin, 45, lives in Ulujami subdistrict, West Jakarta,<br>\nwith his wife and four children. He runs a small catering<br>\nbusiness from his home:<\/p>\n<p>I think that the direct presidential election is good for the<br>\npeople as this time around the power to pick our leader rests in<br>\nour own hands.<\/p>\n<p>But the candidates must not forget the promises they made when<br>\non the campaign trail because if they do, the public will be<br>\ndisappointed. The winners must be capable of ensuring a better<br>\nlife for the people.<\/p>\n<p>I'm glad to see that almost all the candidates plan to create<br>\njobs for our millions of unemployed. Two of my sons are also out<br>\nof work. They politicians must fulfill their promises.<\/p>\n<p>Although I intend to vote for a particular candidate, I will<br>\naccept whoever becomes our next president.<\/p>\n<p>Sunandar, 30, is a construction worker with two children. He<br>\nlives in Kebayoran Lama, South Jakarta:<\/p>\n<p>I haven't decided who I'm going to vote for on July 5 as all<br>\nof them are promising lots of good things at the moment.<\/p>\n<p>I regularly follow what is happening in the campaign on<br>\ntelevision. I also enjoy watching the debates among the<br>\ncandidates on television.<\/p>\n<p>They offer good programs like job creation, the eradication of<br>\ncorruption, collusion and nepotism, and lower school fees. But,<br>\nwill they fulfill their promises? Can you tell me, which ticket<br>\nis really the best?<\/p>\n<p>--The Jakarta Post<\/p>",
