Mahbub Djunaidy, Jember – Hundreds of students in Jember, East Java, demonstrated on January 28 saying that they were fed up with the leadership of the pair backed by the Democrat Party.

The students, who came from the Indonesian Islamic Students Movement (PMII), the Indonesian Islamic Students Association (HMI), the Indonesian National Students Movement (GMNI), the Indonesian Association of Catholic Students (PMKRI) and the Muhammadiyah Students Association (IMM), held the action near the Jember University campus and the local DPRD.

As well as singing a song titled "We're fed up with SBY-Boediono", the students gave speeches, held a happening art action and set fire to tyres, as well as distributing hundreds of pamphlets and posters protesting Yudhoyono and Boediono's policies.

"100 days that have annoyed and pained the people's hearts. SBY-Boediono should be hung", shouted the action coordinator from GMNI Jember, Andy Wasis.
