JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/Asia News Network): Experts said that President Joko 'Jokowi' Widodo’s big-tent government coalition remained untroubled despite the recent internal rift within the United Development Party (PPP) that saw chairman Suharso Monoarfa ousted from office last week, as the government had moved swiftly to recognise the party’s new acting leader.

Law and Human Rights Minister Yasonna Laoly issued a decree that confirms Muhammad Mardiono as the party's acting chairman until Suharso’s term expires in 2025.
