President discusses post-election security situation
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono chaired a limited cabinet meeting at his office here on Monday to discuss the post-legislative election security situation.
Started at 10 on Monday morning, the meeting was attended by Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Widodo AS, Law and Human Rights Minister Andi Mattalatta, Home Affairs Minister Mardiyanto, Minister/State Secretary Hatta Radjasa, Communication and Information Minister Muhammad Nuh, National Police Chief Gen Bambang Hendarso Danuri, State Intelligence Agency (BIN) chief Syamsir Siregar, and Attorney General Hendarman Supanji.
Minister/State Secretary Hatta Radjasa said the meeting was held as the president wanted to hear reports on the security situation across the country after the national legislative elections on Thursday, April 9, 2009.
"After a four-day holiday, the president wanted to obtain reports on the latest security situation in the country after the legislative elections," Hatta Radjasa said.
According to him, President Yudhoyono chaired the meeting to discuss the security situation only and not the potential of legal action against the ballot count in the legislative elections.
"Such a case has already had its own legal procedure," Hatta Radjasa said, adding that before the meeting, President Yudhoyono had already received the report on security condition during and after the election.
Earlier, on Thursday night (April 9, 2009), Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Widodo AS reported to the president about the security situation and the next day on Friday (April 10, 2009) Home Affairs Minister Mardiyanto reported the same thing to the head of state at the latter`s private residence at Puri Cikeas Indah in Bogor, West Java.
At the time Minister Mardiyanto said there was no significant security disturbance during the election, except the one in Abepura, Papua province.

Golkar, PPP to give priority to nation
The United Development Party (PPP) and the Golkar Party agreed to give a priority to the interest of the nation in responding to the various alleged frauds with regard to the legislative elections on Thursday.
"The Golkar Party and PPP agreed to give a priority to the state. Though there are problems, yet we have to restrain for the interest of the nation," PPP General Chairman Surya Darma Ali said after a meeting with Golkar Chairman Jusuf Kalla here on Sunday.
Suryadharma Ali met Kalla at his Diponegoro residence. During the meeting, Surayadharma Ali was accompanied among others by chairman of PPP faction in the House, Lukman Hakim.
When asked whether the Golkar Party and PPP would no longer question the alleged frauds, Ali said it was not that way.
"We do not use that language. We are still studying the problem and its legal aspects," he said.
He said that his meeting with Kalla discussed most matters relating to their common experience.
Ali said that Golkar and PPP shared some similarities just like a publicly listed company. "Like a publicly listed company, an important decision should be made through a share-holders` meeting," Ali added.
He said that PPP and Golkar party had to take a decision through a leadership meeting. They were different from other parties who were owned by `individuals`.
Therefore, he said, the people were expected to be patient in waiting for their decisions.

Golkar to disintegrate if Kalla runs for president : observer
If Golkar Party leader Jusuf Kalla who is vice president persists in his efforts to run for president, his party will disintegrate, a political observer here said.
"Akbar Tanjung who has great influence in Golkar will be encouraged to be Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono`s running mate if Jusuf Kalla pushes through his intention to contest the presidential election," Mochamad Yulianto, a political analyst at Diponegoro University, said here Saturday.
He said although Akbar Tanjung was no longer the chairman of the Golkar Party, he had remained an influential figure in the party`s structure.
According to Yulianto, Golkar`s failure to grab most of the votes in Thursday`s legislative elections could be seen as an indication that Akbar Tanjung was better than Jusuf Kalla as the party`s leader.
"Golkar may undergo the same experience as in the 2004 presidential election, if Kalla runs for president," Yulianto said, adding that in 2004, Golkar chose Wiranto as its presidential candidate and Sholahudin Wahid as his running mate while Kalla (who was then only a Golkar cadre) was chosen by Susilo Bambang Yudhoryono as the Democratic Party`s vice presidential candidate.
The pair nominated by Golkar at the time lost the first round of the presidential election, while Jusuf Kalla who was not supported by Golkar became Yudhoyono`s vice president.
Yulianto said, having won only 13 to 15 percent of the votes in Thursday`s legislative election, Golkar should coalesce with other parties if it wants to nominate its own presidential candidate.(*)

Megawati, Prabowo discuss alleged election fraud
Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDI-P) chairperson Megawati Soekarnoputri and Greater Indonesia Movement (Gerindra) Party Advisory Board chairman Prabowo Subianto met here on Saturday to discuss alleged fraud in Thursday`s legislative elections.
"Speaking about the legislative elections, I think there was a lot of fraud in their implementation," Praboso said before entering Megawati`s residence on Teuku Umar street, Central Jakarta.
On arrival at Megawati`s residence, Prabowo was greeted by PDI-P Secretary General Pramono Anung who had previously said the meeting with Megawati was intended to build political communication and cooperation after the legislative election, in addition to discussing various problems, including the chaotic handling of permanent voters` lists (DPTs).
"Problematic DPTs were found across the country and therefore it should be clarified before the presidential election is conducted," Anung said, adding that the problem should be immediately dealt with by the government because it suggested that the lists had been manipulated.
He said it should be immediately clarified to allay doubt and suspicion that the DPTs were manipulated by certain quarters.
Because of the suspicion that the DPTs were manipulated, Anung said, adding that the PDI-P would support other political parties and organizations in their intention to file a lawsuit.
"According to Law No.10/2008, such a lawsuit can be filed because the alleged fraud occurred massively or everywhere, and I am certain that PDI-P, Golkar, and other parties will remain quiet about this," Anung said.
But he expressed hope that the lawsuit would not disturb or change the schedule of the presidential election and that the process to form a new government on October 20, 2009 would run as scheduled.
