The Dhaka Times Desk Indonesian President Joko Yododo and opposition leader Prabowo Subianto met each other for the first time since the April election, even during a train ride!
Yododo was re-elected president in April elections, but his opponents accused him of election fraud and opposition supporters staged protests.
At least 9 protesters died in clashes with security forces during the demonstration. However, Indonesia's Constitutional Court upheld the election results last month.
Yododo and Subianto came together yesterday (Saturday) to put their differences aside while testing Jakarta's new transport system. BBC news.
Standing next to the President, Subianto said that someone asked why I did not congratulate the President for winning the election. Because I actually wanted to congratulate him face to face.
Assuring the President of support in his work, Subianto said that the President's job is to serve the people. He will face many problems in this work. I am ready to help him.
President Yododo said he invited his counterpart to observe Jakarta's new public transport system.
Yododo was elected president for the first time in 2014, although the outcome of that election was also questionable.
Yododo said that he was really happy to meet opposition leader Prabowo Subianto in this way.
'I hope that our supporters will also keep in mind the fact that they should work together. Because we are all citizens of the same country. Competition is increasing all over the world and we must be united to ensure the development of our country.
