As former New Order general Prabowo Subianto’s Red and White Coalition parliamentary majority prepares to pass a law that would put an end to the direct election of regional heads, a poll released Tuesday by the Indonesian Survey Circle found that 81.25% of respondents want local leaders to be elected directly by the people – not regional legislative councils as proposed in the new law. As many as 81.53% of respondents who voted for Prabowo in the July 9 presidential election also support direct elections.
