Jakarta – A survey by the pollster Indonesian Survey Circle (LSI) has revealed that most Indonesians want the "shadow" leadership appointed by the Indonesian Democratic of Struggle-led (PDI-P) Great Indonesia Coalition to be disbanded, fearing it would hamper the House's performance.

"As many as 61.2 percent of respondents say that it is better if the 'shadow' House of Representativess be disbanded. Only 22.95 percent of them want to see it sustained," LSI researcher Dewi Arum said on Thursday as quoted by tribunnews.com.

The LSI interviewed 1,200 respondents across 33 provinces in Indonesia using a quick-poll method, with a margin of error of 2.9 percent. Recently, PDI-P deputy secretary-general Ahmad Basarah said that the PDI-P-led coalition was ready to carry out reconciliation efforts.

"We would like to conduct amiable talks with our colleagues [from the Red-and-White Coalition] to break this deadlock," Basarah said. However, so far, no concrete steps have been taken, with the coalitions holding separate plenary sessions. (ask/nfo)
