Welcome My “New President” Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono

Bloggers, more than one hundred millions Indonesian citizens, including me, gave our votes yesterday, Wednesday, July 8th 2009. We gave our votes to select new president and vice president for the period of 2009 – 2014. There were three couples of candidates. Candidates 1: Megawati Sukarno Putri – Prabowo Subiyanto. Candidates 2: Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono – Budiono. Candidates 3: Jusuf Kalla – Wiranto.

Based on the results of the quick count conducted by the Indonesian Survey Institute (LSI), Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his running mate, former central bank governor Boediono lead the polls, securing more than 60 percent of the votes and easily defeating his contenders, former President Megawati Soekarnoputri with 26 percent votes and Vice President Jusuf Kalla with 12 percent votes.

According to The Jakarta Post, local English newspaper, preliminary counts show that Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) won the most votes at polling stations at Indonesian embassies in London, Hamburg, Stockholm, The Hague, Brussels, Madrid, Prague, Moscow and Rome. In London, 89 out of a total 116 votes (or 77 percent) went to the pair. In The Hague the couple also won the majority with 567 votes.

Bloggers, if the official count from the General Elections Commission (KPU) next month is the same with the quick count result, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) will lead Indonesia again for the next five years. I hope that under Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono's (SBY) leadership Indonesia will become a developed democratic country. Welcome my “New President”. God Bless you. God bless Indonesia.
