JAKARTA. A politician from the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle ( PDI-P ) has said that research carried out by the party showed that 20 percent of Governor Basuki “Ahok” Tjahaja Purnama supporters were PDI-P members. PDI-P deputy chairman Komar Watubun said on Thursday that the figure was calculated from Jakarta voters, who had handed over photocopies of their Identity Cards to Teman Ahok ( Friends of Ahok ) to fulfill the requirements for Ahok to run as an independent candidate. “It is because we have not decided on our gubernatorial candidate. After the party decides its candidate, loyal members will support the candidate endorsed by the party,” said Komar in Jakarta on Thursday as reported by tribunnews.com.
