Indonesia's Prabowo Gets Support from Biggest Party, But No Coalition Deal Yet​

PRABOWO SUBIANTO - Indonesia's largest political party said it would support incoming president Prabowo Subianto, but it was unclear on Thursday whether it would formally join his already dominant coalition just days ahead of the inauguration ceremony.

If Prabowo, who will take over the presidency on Sunday, can reach a deal with the Indonesian Democratic Party of Struggle (PDIP) there would be in parliament, an unprecedented situation since Indonesia began holding direct presidential elections in 2004.
