Jakarta (B2B) - Indonesian President Indonesia Susilo Bambang Yudoyono said all components of the nation played roles and had the responsibility to make the upcoming July 9 presidential election a success.
"We will shortly organize a presidential election. If the election proceeds for only one round, then on July 9 we will have a new president, although the presidential inauguration will only be held in October 2014," President Yudhoyono said when opening a cabinet meeting here on Thursday.
He said, "If the election continues for two rounds we will have to wait for two months, until September (second- round election), to know who will replace me."
Yudhoyono noted that everyone must play their roles and contribute to the election, so that it is smooth and peaceful.
"The country will shortly be colored by a presidential election. I and the election organizers have the responsibility to ensure that it will be conducted peacefully and democratically in an orderly manner," the President stated.
He noted that the political parties were responsible for nominating the presidential and vice presidential candidates. The candidates can be nominated by a political party or a group of political parties.
The present political map, he said, showed that no single electoral contestant had won 25 percent of votes (in last weeks legislative elections).
There could be one that meets the requirement (25 percent of votes) or the political parties have to form a coalition to nominate a presidential and a vice presidential candidate, he asserted.
"The people will elect the right president, who will lead us," the President said, adding that it was a sharing of responsibilities as regulated by the law. "
He said during the election process, the government will carry out its tasks and ensure that all the programs were implemented.
