The Jakarta Post , Jakarta | Tue, 07/07/2009 11:14 PM | Presidential Election

Vice presidential hopeful Boediono will cast vote for the first time at his hometown in Sawitsari village, Sleman, Yogyakarta, on Wednesday.






“I admit that I went home to comfort myself ahead of the presidential election. I will probably vote at 9.30 a.m, at the polling station Sawitsari 96,” Boediono said Tuesday as quoted by Kompas.com.

He urged all residents to vote.

Head of the Yogyakarta branch of the Democratic Party (PD) GPBH Prabukusumo said the provincial success team for presidential candidate Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and running mate Boediono would deploy 8,049 volunteers to monitor all polling stations across the province.

“The volunteers will be equipped with telecommunication devices and will submit their reports online,” Prabukusumo said.

He was optimistic that the candidates’ supporters would remain solid and contribute a great number of votes for SBY and Boediono. (ewd)
