Thousands of PAN supporters bored

MAKASSAR, South Sulawesi: Most of some 1,000 supporters of the National Mandate Party (PAN) abandoned PAN campaign on Friday, held at Bumi Tamalanrea Permai field in Makassar city.

Most of the supporters initially flooded the field at 1 p.m and listened attentively to the PAN campaigners, who spelled out PAN programs.

But, few minutes later, they became boring and started to flee the field. The supporters mounted into their motorcycles, some got into their cars, and they joined PAN convoy across Makassar street.

The similar phenomenon also happens at other political parties, signing that people are not attracted to party programs, instead, they are more interested to do street campaign. -- JP
