Jakarta – The Democratic Party and its 22 coalition partners signed in Cikeas, West Java, on Saturday what they call as a "coalition contract". The contract, says Democratic Party deputy chairman Anas Urbaningrum, represents cooperation ties between the parties.

Refusing to mention in details the contents of the contract, Anas said its substance was the parties' work plans for the next five years.

"This is what SBY (President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono) has mentioned as platform and policy direction. We will share this to the public in details during campaigning," Anas said.

He said 23 members of the coalition had not just agreed on the political platform of Yudhoyono and Boediono, but also agreed to support the pair. "Their political support is evident today with their enrolling of the candidacy of the pair to the KPU," Anas added.

Four main parties in support to the coalition are the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), the National Mandate Party (PAN), the United Development Party (PPP) and the National Awakening Party (PKB).

Chairman of these parties, except that of PAN, all were present in the enrollment ceremony.
