Winners deserve support
Winners deserve support
From Koran Tempo
The nation's first direct presidential election has taken
place and two pairs of frontrunners will again race in the coming
run-off election if none of them can score more than 50 percent
votes.
This direct election is a valuable experience for the entire
population to make further progress in democracy and politics.
The public received political education during the campaign
period. With greater awareness, people will not become an easy
target of politics and are smart enough to elect good leaders.
The orderly, safe and smooth realization of the July 5
presidential election was also inseparable from the political
education and higher political awareness. In this way, the higher
quality of election results will also be better guaranteed as
foul practices have been further reduced.
Consequently, any of the pairs of presidential and vice
presidential candidates that will triumph in the present election
should be supported so that they can perform their duties
properly for the nation's future advancement.
