Suryadharma Case Not to Affect Prabowo-Hatta Electability

Jakarta (Antara) - The naming by the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) of Suraydharma Ali (SDA) will not affect the electability of Prabowo Subianto-Hatta Rajasa, presidential and vice presidential candidates, a leader of a supporting party said. "It (the naming as suspect of SDA) has no effect on the Prabowo-Hatta electability. It was slightly discussed by the coalition partners," Tjatur Sapto Edi said here on Friday. Tjatur is an associate chairman of the National Mandate Party (PAN), which is one of the political parties in the alliance that supports the Prabowo-Hatta duo. Suryadharma Ali, the general chairman of the United Development Party (PPP), which is also one of the alliance members, was named as a suspect in an alleged corruption case in last year's hajj pilgrimage management.
