REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, PALEMBANG - The resignation of Secretary General of Democratic Party, Edhie Baskoro Yudhoyono or known as Ibas, from the parliament gave more energy to the party, the Chairman of Democratic Party, Anas Urbaningrum said, commenting on Ibas' leaving.
"It is his choice. I respect and support it. I am glad because his energy will be 100 percent for the party," he said on Friday. Ibas had deeply thought his decision, he added.
He emphasized once again that Ibas resignation gives more energy to the party to finish the consolidation process. He explained that Ibas fairly divided his task in the party and the parliament.
