"We need to think positively. We should give the president the opportunity to work well. Thats our culture," Prabowo said after attending the inauguration of President Joko Widodo and Vice President Jusuf Kalla here on Monday.
Jokowis success in governing the country will not only rely on the pro-people policies he implements but also on how much he shares with the public regarding the outcomes of developmental measures, Prabowo stated.
"The current progress of our countrys development is good but can only be shared among a few people. We want the country, at large, to enjoy it," he noted.
Furthermore, a senior researcher of the Indonesia Public Institute (IPI), Karyono Wibowo pointed out that Prabowos calls for the people to give Jokowi a chance will be well noted and remembered by all Indonesians.
"People will hope that Jokowis pro-people policies are supported by Prabowo," he remarked.
Prabowo stood against the former governor of Jakarta in the presidential election on July 9, which ended with Jokowis victory.
